Answer

'Realized' suggests you suddenly became aware of it, or you were confused about what was happening until you worked it out - you had passed several stops and then were suddenly surprised to find you had been going the wrong way. 'Recognized' sounds a little wrong here, as it suggests more careful consideration of the situation before coming to a reasoned conclusion. Hope this helps!

Answer

I'm not sure what you mean by "covered" several tram stops.
