Running on rails at street level rather than underground, the tram is transit that stays part of the scenery. It's used for city transit in tram-heavy places, and general urban-travel posts where the ride is short, above ground, and visible the whole way through the window.
What 🚊 means
An oncoming tram, visible on its tracks, designed with a large windshield, and a couple of headlights around it. The 🚊 Tram emoji represents a useful mode of passenger transport for small to medium distances within cities.
How and when to use it
- Use 🚊 while sharing pictures and/or videos of trams. It can be a visually appealing picture, a luxury tram, a video from inside the tram, your first time on a tram; generally or after the lockdown, anything.
- While indicating that you're currently in a tram, or that you would opt for a tram in any given traveling scenario, you can use 🚊. Like, "It might take a while. Still in transit 🚊".
- If you're sharing a news post about trams in general, or a particular tram line in your city or elsewhere, you can use 🚊 in the post caption.
- If you're texting someone to take a tram, use 🚊.
- You could also use 🚊 while indicating a tram station or while texting someone about a particular one too.
