Public praise delivered over PA systems encourages community spirit.
Delhi Metro has implemented Compliment Broadcasts, a program where passengers’ positive deeds are announced on the public address system. According to NDTV, the initiative fosters recognition, kindness, and shared amusement among commuters.
Commuters report improved mood, laughter, and a sense of community. Organizers provide a submission platform, selection criteria, and fun sound effects. Critics worry about performance pressure, but psychologists highlight emotional reinforcement, civic pride, and social connection. Plans include themed days and intercity compliment networks.
