Digital screens announce jokes, trivia, and positive news during travel.

Delhi Metro has implemented Cheerful Commute Alerts, displaying uplifting messages, trivia, and humorous announcements on screens throughout stations and carriages. According to NDTV, the program aims to reduce commuter stress and encourage positivity.

Passengers report laughter, improved mood, and social engagement. Organizers provide content moderation, scheduling, and interactive submission channels. Critics worry about message relevance, but psychologists highlight emotional reinforcement, civic pride, and commuter satisfaction. Future plans include themed weeks, passenger-generated content, and competitions.
