WHY METROPING

Why MetroPing exists.

MetroPing is for riders who want to check their route less while reading, working, listening to music, resting, or travelling on an unfamiliar line.

Updated July 2026 · Direction, not a release promise.

WHY IT EXISTS

One useful job

Remind a rider before a destination or interchange so they do not have to keep watching the route.

WHAT THE BETA TESTS

Reliability in real journeys

Can personal alerts arrive at a useful time across real Delhi Metro journeys and different phones?

WHAT IT IS NOT

Not an official system

MetroPing does not replace DMRC announcements, display boards, station signs, or a rider's own judgement.

ROADMAP

Now, next, and later.

Priorities may change as real journey data and tester feedback improve the evidence.

Expand without losing the main purpose

  • Consider wider coverage if the Delhi beta proves useful
  • Keep optional ideas out of the core journey
HELP TEST THE CORE IDEA

Tell us whether the alert was early, late, or on time.

MetroPing is an independent beta. Underground GPS and phone background settings can still affect alerts.
