Passengers are prompted to smile, nod, or help fellow commuters to foster community.
Delhi Metro has implemented Kindness Gesture Screens, digital displays encouraging passengers to perform micro acts of kindness, such as smiling, nodding, or assisting fellow riders. According to NDTV, the initiative promotes commuter morale and civic engagement.
Commuters report improved mood, social interaction, and laughter. Organizers provide moderation, schedules, and optional participation. Critics question consistency, but psychologists highlight emotional reinforcement, civic pride, and commuter satisfaction. Future plans include themed weeks, competitions, and app-based participation tracking.
