Spring has sprung and that means before you know it Metro Vancouver will be engulfed by an amazing array of cherry blossoms. Our streets, parks, and (of course) social media will be a sea of pink.

With over 4,000 cherry trees in the city, various types will be blooming at different times throughout March and April meaning you’ve got plenty of time to take in some cherry blossoms on transit.
