It's hard to see this ever taking off on the LUAS or the DART...
Your Monday morning commute could have looked very different if you lived near Peter Sharp, a so called "social artist".
Sharp, who resides in Perth, has taken it upon himself to spread a little more cheer in the world, starting with his own performances.
In his latest effort, Sharp inspired others to get involved in a dance party aboard a morning train in Fremantle.
After telling passengers: "I don't want money, I just want to spread a bit of happiness", Sharp plays some James Brown and bops down the carriage. After a while, several passengers join in.
The message of the video is, according to Sharp: "If we can start a party, what is stopping you from having a conversation?"
If anyone attempts this on an Irish train this evening, please send video evidence to [email protected].
