Passengers clap briefly for acts of civility and helpfulness.

Delhi Metro has introduced Micro-Applause Moments, brief instances where passengers acknowledge acts of kindness via synchronized clapping. According to NDTV, these micro-events are coordinated using apps and station announcements to promote positivity.

Commuters report increased happiness, social bonding, and stress reduction. Organizers provide timing cues, etiquette instructions, and optional participation. Critics worry about coordination challenges, but psychologists highlight enhanced emotional well-being, civic engagement, and commuter satisfaction. Future developments include thematic days and intercity participation.
