Positive messages and jokes uplift commuter moods.
Delhi Metro has implemented Happiness Announcements, where humorous or uplifting messages are broadcast to commuters. According to NDTV, messages include short jokes, motivational quotes, and celebratory acknowledgments of passenger achievements.
Commuters report improved mood, laughter, and a sense of community. Organizers provide curated content, scheduling, and periodic surveys to maintain engagement. Critics question subjective humor, but psychologists note emotional benefits, civic pride, and commuter satisfaction. Plans include themed weeks, passenger-submitted messages, and digital integration.
