Delhi Metro Buddy matches riders about to leave with riders standing on the same train. Post your coach and nearest door, a standing rider claims it, and the seat changes hands at your stop. You earn karma for every seat you give.

Delhi Metro Buddy connects riders who are about to get off with riders who are standing on the same train. Seats on the metro have no numbers, so a seat is described by its coach, counted from the front, its nearest door and a landmark. There's no chat and no phone numbers, only short descriptions.
Seats are free, never sold. Every rider starts with 3 karma. Claiming a seat holds 1 karma, which comes back if the handoff doesn't happen. Giving a seat earns 1, or 2 when you give it to someone who is elderly, pregnant, injured, with a child or carrying luggage. Those riders claim for free and go to the top of the list. Coach 1, at the front of the train, is women-only, and the app warns before anyone claims a seat there.

Getting off in a few stops? Post your line, direction, coach, nearest door and exit station.
A standing rider on the same train claims it and says how to recognise them. You pick who gets it.
Stand up at your stop, they sit down, and you both confirm. You earn karma.
Seats given to reach each level
Unlocked by how, when and where you give
Pick two stations and get the fewest changes or the fastest way: which terminal to board towards, where branches split, and an estimated time. It runs on your device, so once you've opened it on your phone it works underground with no signal. Each leg shows how many seats are being offered on that train.
