"No Reels On The Wheels": Delhi Metro Issues Advisory Against Recording Videos For Social Media

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has issued a fresh advisory against shooting reels or videos while commuting in the metro. Many commuters record videos inside the metro wherein they can be seen dancing, singing or enacting sketches for posting on social media platforms such as Instagram. Many such videos also go viral, primarily because they were recorded inside public transport. Since recording these videos can disrupt smooth and safe travel inside the metro, and become a source of nuisance for fellow commuters, the Delhi Metro has advised passengers against this activity.

Taking to X and Instagram, DMRC posted on their official accounts, "No reels on the wheels. Your performance deserves a bigger stage than the metro," read a poster with a man playing a guitar at the metro station.

Metro is for travel, not for trends.

So next time Let's not make reels or encourage them because a smooth, safe journey matters more than a few seconds of fame.#DelhiMetro pic.twitter.com/5v1PMV5Gil

This is not the first time DMRC has issued an advisory against making videos inside the metro. In 2023, DMRC shared some funny and relatable tweets to warn against shooting reels in the metro, adding that any such activity that causes inconvenience to fellow passengers is "strictly prohibited".
