1 The traffic on the subway is slowed down this morning due to a jumper 'traffic' is used for road vehicles not trains. 'jumper' is rather callous slang - I wouldn't say it.

2 The subway traffic is dirupted due to an electricity problem. again a problem with 'traffic'

3 The metro is going to have to stop for 10 minutes due to regulation purposes/for regulation purposes. I'm not too sure what you have in mind with 'regulation' here.

Thank you

When you're on the subway and it's down or slow because of something what does the driver say if it's not traffic?, you're getting the gist of my sentences, how would you rephrase them?

thanks

traffic is not appropriate because it means there are too many vehicles.

They usually tell you something specific to that situation e.g.engineering works, fault on the line, signalling fault and so on.
