Delhi Metro seat dispute goes viral: What was the issue

India Nov 05, 2025

A video of a seat dispute on the Delhi Metro Blue Line is making waves online.
It shows a young woman asking an elderly lady to shift so she can sit, but the request is refused—leading to a tense exchange that quickly went viral.

Internet divided over 'right' way to handle situation

The internet is split: some feel the elderly passenger could've scooted over to help out, while others say one seat means one person and she didn't have to move.
As one commenter put it, "The seat is meant for one person, and the girl is trying to squeeze in where there isn't room."
The whole thing has people talking about personal space and basic etiquette on crowded public transport.
