Passengers give silent nods or gestures instead of verbal praise.

Delhi Metro has rolled out Silent Compliment Carriages, allowing commuters to express approval nonverbally via nods, thumbs-up, or smiling gestures. According to NDTV, the initiative promotes positivity without verbal disruption during busy rides.

Passengers report increased calm, improved mood, and reduced stress. Organizers provide signage, subtle prompts, and etiquette reminders. Critics worry about misinterpretation of gestures, but psychologists highlight emotional reinforcement, commuter satisfaction, and social cohesion benefits.
