Transit in Metro Vancouver not only connects you to people and places but also to the spirit of the season. Through our Art Moves program, we’re hosting live music on transit this holiday season, including the beloved SeaBus sing-along! Get ready to channel your inner Mariah Carey on this musical commute.

This December, we’re joined by vocal group We are Family, jazz group Itamar Erez Trio, and singer and musician Jill Samycia to sprinkle the holiday cheer throughout transit.
