Passengers ride with others in matching emotional states to reduce friction.

Delhi Metro has rolled out Mood-Based Carriages, organizing commuters according to emotional state. According to NDTV, passengers indicate moods via app, and AI algorithms assign seats to clusters of happy, stressed, or contemplative riders.

Officials claim mood alignment reduces friction, accidental eye contact, and unsolicited conversation. Commuters report smoother rides and increased emotional comfort. Psychologists note reduced stress and social strain, though critics warn about privacy and mislabeling risks.

Future plans include real-time mood analytics, mood-matching playlists, and optional meditation guides for emotional synchronization. Early evidence suggests higher satisfaction and fewer commuting complaints.
