  • Hello, rider

Your commute, but rewarding.

RailRobin rides the metro with you. A live next-station board, Robin the AI that answers with official sources, and quick games that turn your ride into coins for real rewards.

Coming soon to Google Play. Android first, iPhone next.

How it works

Three stops to a better commute

No new card, no new ticket. Ride the way you already do, and let RailRobin make the minutes count.

  1. Check in at the station

    Start Metro Mode and pick your stop. We check your location once, at the station, then switch it off.

  2. Ride and play

    The next-station board keeps you on track. Quick games pay coins during your ride's 90-minute window.

  3. Spend at partners

    Swap coins for rewards from cafés and shops at or near stations. Show the voucher at the counter.

Metro Mode

Never miss your stop again.

A next-station board in your pocket that works even in tunnels, because it runs on the timetable and the clock, not on GPS.

  • Live next-station boardYour line, your direction, the next stop and minutes to go. Tap “I'm at” to correct it any time.
  • “Your stop is next” alertsA buzz one stop before your destination, even mid-game.
  • Saved stations and interchangesHome, office, the usual. Plus a heads-up where you change lines.
  • Crowd reportsQuiet, moderate, busy or packed: riders tell riders, and reports vanish after a day.
  • Share my tripSend family a live link with your stations and arrival time. Never your location.

1location check per ride

Location is checked once when you start Metro Mode, then switched off. During the ride, location is used only if you turn it on, and it never leaves your phone.

Robin AI

Ask anything about your metro. In your language.

Robin answers questions about fares, exits, rules, parking and lost property, and shows the official source under every answer.

  • Cited, not guessedAnswers come from reviewed operator pages and RailRobin's own map, with the date each was last checked.
  • English, ಕನ್ನಡ, தமிழ், हिन्दीAsk the way you speak. Robin replies in the same language.
  • Private by defaultPhone numbers and emails are removed before a question reaches the AI model. Your name and number are never sent.
  • Underground? The guide still worksRobin needs signal. The Metro guide is on your phone and works offline.

  • Lift and ramp exitsKnow before you arrive which exit is step-free, and where it comes out.
  • Honest gapsWhere something isn't mapped yet, we say so, instead of guessing.
  • Large text and screen readersThe app follows your phone's text size, dark mode and TalkBack.

Example station guide

  • Exit AMain road side · bus stop 80 m
    Lift
  • Exit BMarket side · auto stand

No dates, no promises: we add cities as we're ready. RailRobin is independent and not affiliated with BMRCL or CMRL.

Built for India

Private by design. Fair by default.

Designed around India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, by people who ride the same trains.

Location, once per trip

Checked when you check in at the station, never tracked during your ride. Nobody sees your route or commute times.

Data in India where we can

Our servers and database run in Bengaluru. Bug reports and error logs stay in Central India.

No selling, no profiling

We don't sell personal data. Sponsored items are chosen by city and date, and always labelled.

Fair rewards

One account per phone, verified check-ins and daily caps keep coins honest for everyone.

Two-person review

Every story, fact, theme and sponsored item is approved by two people before riders see it.
