MetroPing, created by developer Gaurav Dudeja, is a utility designed specifically for Delhi Metro commuters. It addresses a common problem faced by transit riders: missing stops or interchanges due to tiredness, distraction, or simply not paying attention to station signs.

By delivering calm alerts before reaching a destination or interchange, MetroPing aims to give commuters peace of mind during their transit. Whether you are catching up on reading, resting, or browsing on your phone, the app ensures you are prompted in time to exit or switch trains smoothly.

Currently, MetroPing is available for free testing on iPhone via TestFlight, while Android users can request testing access directly from the developer.
