Frequency varies by line and by time of day, but they are listed on the poles at bus stops (a little funky to figure out the first time).

HTH

Can I use the card and pay for other people with me ?? Where do I get the card and how do I recharge ?? It's kinda confusing since its my first time ever !! thanks for your answer

If you get the pay per ride Metrocard then you can pay for other people, too. If you get an unlimited Metrocard (1-day, 1-week, 30-day), then there's a set time interval between each use/swipe. You can purchase a Metrocard from the manned-booth or machines at a subway station; some stores also sell Metrocards. You can put additional funds onto the Metrocard at any subway station.
