Mnemonic
舆 yú "carriage; the public" + 论 lùn "to discuss": the discussion of the many, i.e. public opinion. 舆 originally means "carriage" but here "the public (众人)". Polyphone: 论 is lùn "to discuss" (舆论, 讨论) but lún (论语, the Analects); here lùn. Distinguish 舆论 (public opinion) from 意见 (yìjiàn, an individual opinion).
