Passengers are prompted to perform gestures of friendliness, like nodding or smiling.

Delhi Metro has implemented Positive Micro-Interaction Alerts, digital prompts encouraging passengers to engage in friendly gestures such as waving or nodding. According to NDTV, the initiative aims to boost commuter morale, social cohesion, and civic engagement.

Commuters report improved mood, laughter, and social connection. Organizers provide moderation, timing schedules, and optional participation. Critics question authenticity, but psychologists highlight emotional reinforcement, commuter satisfaction, and social bonding. Future plans include themed weeks, competitions, and app-based integration.
