Making the Tube more fun!

I live in London and really want to know what is it about the tube/subway that makes people so miserable? Is it just me or do people suddenly change when they pass through the turnstile? For some reason the 'normal' social conventions of smiling and talking (or even LOOKING) at other people seem to be frowned upon on the underground!

That's a good point, no-one even looks at each other on the tube... the fisrt sign of eye contact and people stare at the floor, their newspaper or develop an unusual amount of interest in one of the tube car adverts.
That said, anyone who's ever spoken to me on the tube has done so either to ask me for money or to tell me that I didn't love God enough.
Once bitten...
So, any ideas for perking up tune journey?
I-spy? Need someone to play that with I s'pose...
Guessing the colour of people's underwear? Illegal...
Farting and blaming it on others? Unhygienic...
Anymore for any more?

Hey, i just came to London, and i really see your point :) I guess tube should be fun after all... so many people closed together ;p
Ideas for making it more fun?
Maybe music on tube? Zone for rap fans, zone for skin heads etc. ^^ Although boring people get in too... :/ ok - boring zone...
Or maybe some psyhodelic colours on the walls oO 10 min in and you get all freaky ;D
Or just LSD in ventilation system :D will make jurnay fun :p

Interesting ideas :)
Not sure most of those would get through a Health and Safety assessment though ;)

ok i have an idea....
Just start a conversation with someone!
I do when im drunk lol and find that everyone then joins in so we should do it sober!
Your mission if you choose to accept is to say hello how are you? to just one person on public transport! this may or may not start a conversation but it will make you and that person feel a little bit better! if you cant do that just make eye contact and smile!
just do it.....
