TULSA, Okla — The love rolled in at the Denver Avenue Bus Station. Tulsa Transit sent a team of staff members to hand out small carnations.
Hillary Baker was just on her way to work when a man holding flowers approached her. That man was a staff member with Tulsa Transit taking part in their Love Squad in celebration of Valentine's Day.
“I’m so glad they’re out here doing this for everyone,” said Baker.
Karen Bolton was another person gifted a flower. She told 2 News that the flower made her day, too.
“It made me feel appreciated, it made me feel noticed, it made me feel good," said Bolton.

The team didn’t forget about the bus drivers either. They stepped on each bus with a flower in hand. The Love Squad was also set up at three other locations around Tulsa, including spreading the love at the Midtown Memorial Station.
Bolton enjoyed the small gesture.
“All girls like to receive anything and a flower on Valentine’s days. Yeah, that’s bonus points,” said Bolton.
The rose giveaway is an annual tradition for the transit team. Tulsa Transit's General Manager Scott Marr said that this event was months in the making. He said that he always enjoyed sharing the love.
“That’s the best part about this. It’s putting a smile on somebody’s face that they wouldn’t have gotten unless we came out here. That’s the feel-good moment that we get”.
Marr said the Tulsa Transit team loves it when they can make someone's day with a small but mighty act of kindness.
