Who would have thought! We should start applying this to traffic jams, elevators, subways - the sky’s the limit!!!

fun can obviously change behaviour for the better

“66% more people than normal chose the stairs over the escalator” - this is an amazing fact

the flaw in the fun theory is the novelty aspect. That percentage (66% more) would steadily fall for regular users as the novelty wears off. New users would still more likely use it, but if the fun theory was applied to a large scale distribution, (lots of stations), the novelty will wear off faster and leave no lasting effect.

Fantastic! Even for a while it’s good…

I’m easily entertained, so I suspect the novelty wouldn’t wear off for quite a long time…

It might would overall increase a little but the 66% would decrease over time as people got bored of it.

I believe it, part of the reason I usually chose the escalator is cause it’s mildly fun

Duh. Like this is such a novel concept.
NOT.
