The Fun Theory!

Everyone likes to have fun, right?

If we make something fun, will we change what we do for the better? Volkswagen took this little theory and decided to test it out.

They installed piano stairs at the exit of a subway station at Odenplan in Stockholm, Sweden, and after observing for one day, 66% more people than normal decided to take the stairs instead of taking the escalator. This will for sure lead to healthier lifestyles for most people if it gets to be a habit! Check out the Piano stairs below.
