I've noticed subways get pretty crowded on weekends too, sometimes as crowded as rush hours. Didn't used to be like that.
The MTA cuts service on weekends to save money, hence crowding. It seems if the MTA sees a line where everyone has a seat as a line that needs to run fewer trains in the future.

Want to cut down on congestion in Manhattan? It's very easy. Impose a $10,000 fine and forfeiture of vehicle and cargo, on any vehicle double standing on an avenue or major cross street M-F 8am to 7pm. I'm make this $25,000 for vehicles delivering for two particular companies, UPS and FedEx.
Whenever I drive in Manhattan and I find a big backup, there's a truck double parking narrowing down the traffic flow. And more often than not the offender is a UPS for Fedex truck.
The people complaining about traffic don't even know they're contributing to it themselves by buying everything online and riding Uber/Lyft.

I’ve lived in nyc for some 20 years I agree with Pierre. I don’t drive much, but when I get behind the wheel, it seems the congestion gets worse and worse. Not only in nyc but in the nearby suburbs too.
One thing that frustrates me is whenever there’s an accident , and if affected cars moved to an emergency lane, the passing vehicles slow down to look at what happened, a pointless exercise and a cause for slower traffiic
NYC has gained almost 1 million residents since 1990. At the same time the mass transit network and highway infrastructure has barely been overhauled or updated with more capacity.
Becoming a member of the city council might help you out with your concern, but as always, good luck on becoming one.
