I had to look this up. A headway is basically "trains come every n minutes" as opposed to "train comes at 7:12 and 7:32 and ..."

Seems simple and approachable.

In large cities with frequent service, it's often only the headway time that is shown when traffic or passenger load would make it difficult to keep exactly to the scheduled times.

Example bus stop timetable in London with exact times only given in the early morning and for the last buses of the night: https://twitter.com/se1/status/963786580593905666
