I f**king forget

Mayor Bloomberg claimed yesterday he doesn’t remember unloading an f-bomb-laced tirade on a taxi-fleet kingpin during a Knick game last week — but then launched into another attack on the industry.

“The only thing I remember from that night was the court. It was the court in the middle of Madison Square Garden and the Knicks won,” the mayor said at an event in East Harlem.

“It was a great game. And I had a great time. That’s all I remember from that night.”

Taxi Club Management CEO Gene Freidman — who won a legal challenge to Bloomberg’s “Taxi of Tomorrow” — told The Post Tuesday that an enraged Bloomberg vowed, “Come January 1, when I am out of office, I am going to destroy your f–king industry!”

While claiming no memory of the exchange, Bloomberg yesterday recalled his complaints about the city’s taxi industry — and again vowed to battle for reforms after her leaves office.

“We’re in court right now, sure,” he said when asked if he would remain part of the fight in 2014.

“What a disgrace. You get into a taxi and it won’t take you to 80 percent of our city? What kind of a city is that?” he fumed.

He also said many hacks don’t stop for people based on their looks or where they might be going, and that older taxis spew too much pollution.

And he slammed opponents of his Taxi of Tomorrow scheme to replace the city’s yellow-cab fleet with new Nissan minivans.

“We also have taxis that don’t have all the facilities we want. We’ve got to solve those problems. And then there are people they want to go to court to stop using modern technology,” he said.

Freidman and other taxi operators sued to block the plan.

A judge ruled last Wednesday — the day before the mayor’s dust-up with Freidman — that city codes prohibited the plan because they require hybrids to be part of the fleet.

Bloomberg’s memory about the MSG incident was clearer on Friday during his weekly WOR radio show.

Host John Gambling brought up the taxi suit, prompting a peeved response from the mayor.

“Guy came up to me last night at Madison Square Garden — I went to the Knicks game, it was a good game, I’m glad the Knicks won. He said, ‘I sued you for that. I’m very proud of that,’ ” the mayor said.

Freidman, meanwhile, was stunned yesterday when told how the mayor had changed his tune.

“That’s incredible, but nothing amazes me anymore,” he said.
