They went about this the wrong way.

Two hard-headed MTA bus drivers caused a gridlock nightmare at a busy Brooklyn intersection Friday by getting into a 30-minute-long heated spat — over which one had the right of way.

Video posted to Twitter shows the dueling B35 buses head to head at 13th Avenue and 39th Street in Borough Park, blocking other vehicles from passing, as well as pedestrians from using the crosswalk.

“There’s two babies driving the bus. Nobody wants to back up,” said the man shooting the video.

The traffic snafu appeared to have stemmed from one of the buses trying to take a right turn — but running out of room with the other bus stopped at a red light.

Fed-up pedestrians could be seen in the video, which wasn’t dated, trying to coax both drivers into backing up — with neither appearing to relent.
