50 Best Tram Songs for IG Reels & Stories

There’s a strange kind of mood that hits when you’re on a tram. It’s not full-on excitement, not exactly boredom, but something tangled in between. You’ve got strangers brushing shoulders, the hum of tracks underfoot, neon lights flickering past windows, and then the right track slides in. The kind that makes the ride feel cinematic for no reason at all. Some of these songs were never written with trams in mind, but they fit anyway. They bottle up that stop-and-go rhythm, the way a short ride can stretch into something that feels like a scene.

Trams have their own kind of drama. Awkward eye contact with someone across the aisle, the low buzz of headphones bleeding from another seat, the clang of doors that feel louder than they need to be. Then a track leaks into your Story and suddenly the moment feels bigger. Maybe it’s a synth line that hits like a flicker of city lights. Maybe it’s a folk song that makes the ride slower in a good way. Or maybe it’s one of those pop, rock, country, and R&B songs that feel heavier than the ride itself. These tracks don’t tidy anything up, they stay in the mess.

Not every tram ride feels smooth. Some are crowded, noisy, and strangely fun in ways you only catch later when scrolling back. The songs here carry that uneven energy, sometimes bright, sometimes heavy, but always wired into the ride. Here are the best tram songs for Instagram reels and stories.
