hahahahaha That's good. Quite relevant question.
Why do we also call trams, "cars"?
English as she is spoke.

Why is what a tram or train runs on called a "road" (as in "bang road"
or "number 3 road", etc.), and what a car drives on called a "track" (as
in "Birdsville Track", etc.)? Never could understand that.
