Yes weekend service has gotten to the point of being unusable, with repair work (both routine, and fixing up tunnels flooded by Sandy) limited to off-peak and weekend hours. Unfortunately we aren't really addressing this in any sane way. Replacing mass transit with vehicles for hire is just making surface congestion awful, when options like expanding and enforcing bus-only lanes, bike lanes and more bike-share are not getting the attention they deserve. There are more solutions than just Uber and Lyft.

Watching communities vote down protected bike lines because they lose 1-2 parking spaces per block (I'm looking at you, Sunnyside) or fight increased bus service (the village..) is very frustrating.
