THE usual rail commute involves little more than a round of Candy Crush and the unflinching desire to get home after a long day at work.

But then a man called Peter Sharp enters your life.

Armed with nothing but a dapper tuxedo, a stereo and a whole lot of chutzpah, the Perth-based social artist boarded a local train and truly transformed the way we get from A to B.

“I don’t want money,” he tells his fellow commuters as he enters the carriage.

“I just want to spread a little bit of happiness. So I’m going to do that today by starting a small dance party.”

What comes next will give you chills. He starts playing I Got You by James Brown and dances through the carriage, inviting others to join in.

As you’d expect, the reaction among other riders is lukewarm to start with. And then the contagion spreads until the whole carriage is up and moving.

It’s not the first time West Australian train riders have made international headlines with their spirit of community.

In August, a platform full of people pushed a 10,000-tonne train off a man who had failed to properly mind the gap.

This truly is how all commutes should be. Take it away, Peter Sharp.
