After a passengers made a choice, the number of people who had registered the same mood lit up.
The happiness index indicator was intended to provide fun for commuters and remind them to be happy.
But at Chengdu Road N., 53 percent of the travelers voters said they felt unhappy.
The game's organizer said this was because of stress - the area has many office buildings.
Visitors were usually in a better mood at tourist areas and shopping centers. At People's Square about 63 percent were "happy."
