Metro traffic is disrupted?????

Could you help me with this sentence please?

Can you use traffic to describe the subway:

The subway traffic was disrupted this morning due to a bomb scare.

Does the bold make sense?

Thank you

It sounds perfectly natural to me. I see no reason that traffic needs to refer only to surface transportation.

Yes, this is common. We even use "traffic" to describe the activity on a communications network.

The bold is in question form but does not end in a question mark. That is waht is wrong with it.
