Ivo Gormley's Idea
My current experience...
People on the tube are silent but they get very close to me. Maybe they are very interesting and perhaps they are thinking about the same things as me. We might have an interesting debate, maybe we both want to talk about football... they may even have the answers to my problems?
Wouldn't it be better if...
People had the chance of connecting to each other on their Journeys. At the moment it’s difficult to start a conversation, it might be easier if we could somehow signify that we wanted to talk and what we wanted to talk about. Perhaps this could be organised by having "talking coaches" that were labelled for different types of conversation. These could change daily due to popular demand. Admittedly rush hour might mean you get stuck in the Amy Whinehouse carriage for half an hour, but for the rest of the time I think it would improve things.
