I enjoy seeing grassy tram tracks, but is there something even better we could grow between rails? (slrpnk.net)

Maybe moss?

That could work, but moss doesn't do well with high levels of sunlight, so unless trains are moving a lot or the system is partially underground, I worry it might not work

I imagine a very swampy tram track would attract a lot of mosquitoes to urban spaces, so chances are it wouldn't be very popular. But I like the idea.
