thank you so much

for one I'm not talking about the time but the intervals, how often they come.

for 2are these not grammatical?
The later you take the subway, the longer the interval between trains will be.
The later you take the subway, the fewer trains there will be.

Thanks

alc24for one I'm not talking about the time but the intervals, how often they come.

If the timetable is the same every day, then the frequency of the trains is the same.

I don't think I've ever referred to the length of time between trains as 'an interval'.

I usually say something like:

The trains run every 15 minutes at this time of day.

or

There's a train every 15 minutes at this time of day.

If you travel later they only go/run every half-hour

What about
Is this natural? Is this how you'd say it?

You don't wait the same amount of time for the train on weekdays as on weekemds.

and can "frequently" be used like this please?
The metro does come as frequently this time a day.

Thank you
