Getting a seat at peak metro hours takes a little luck and sometimes, a bit of sharp observation. A Delhi woman shared how she managed to secure a seat during one of the busiest times of the day.

A post on X (formerly Twitter) has gone viral after a commuter (@kavyacore) shared a clever moment during a crowded Delhi metro ride.

“I got myself a seat during peak commute hours,” the caption of the post reads.

The post quickly went viral, resonating with commuters who know the daily struggle of finding a seat during rush hour.

According to the post, the woman noticed another passenger taking out her work laptop. By accident, she saw where the commuter worked and decided to look up the office address.

Realising the commuter would get off at the very next station, she positioned herself right in front of her.

“Stood right in front of her, turns out I was right and I got myself a seat during peak commute hours,” the post adds.
