  text: This paper presents several conceptual approaches for improving user engagement
    and happiness in mass transport systems by effectively integrating principles
    of ambient and aesthetic intelligence. We introduce themed passenger carriages
    as constructed spaces with an overarching topic or narrative, designed to make
    commuting a meaningful and immersive experience. We examine the challenges for
    commuters and the existing solutions. Following which, we develop scenarios related
    to the fields of recreation, culture, education, business and entertainment. With
    an increasing interest of policy-makers in the concept of happiness as a socioeconomic
    measure for national wellbeing, we identify generic approaches for future research.
