No, we don’t have smart trams in Bucharest yet, sorry if we’ve misled you. What we do have is a palindrome day, 22.02.2022, but so does the rest of the world, or at least the parts that use the Gregorian calendar. What’s a palindrome? Just like the first part in the title of this article, “Recap: smart civic trams pacer,” it’s a word, number, phrase, or other sequence of characters which reads the same backward as forward.

Today’s date, 22.02.2022, is also an ambigram, which means that it can be read the same way forward, backward and upside down. If you don’t believe us, try it yourself, turn your screen upside-down! The internet, of course, loves these rare occurrences, and social media has been buzzing with posts and memes about the 20222022 palindrome/ambigram.
