Meet Vincent Mashburn. He’s a city bus driver who smiles a lot and offers messages of inspiration to passengers. And not just on Valentine’s Day (he once won an award for being great), although he did break out the extra charm while zooming across 42nd Street this morning.

He made positive announcements and told me about the regulars he planned on giving the roses too. But only the authentic ones. (Video: ANIMALNewYork)
