Common Misunderstandings of 🚍
Confusing it with a parked bus
While it's a bus, the front-facing view implies movement or approach, not a stationary vehicle.
Tip: If you mean a parked bus, consider using 🚌 (bus) with context, or specify "parked bus."
Overlooking the "oncoming" aspect
Some might just see it as a generic bus, missing the nuance of it being an approaching vehicle.
Tip: If the direction of movement is important, emphasize it with text, e.g., "Watch out for the 🚍."
