In the Rome metro, there are no fixed schedules: even though there are written schedules, they are not always followed to the letter. Usually, you have to wait between 3 and 5 minutes for each journey, but if there are many people, you might have to wait longer.
Remember to always check the latest news on the website, because sometimes schedules or services change due to work or other reasons.
