| Comment | Trams have slightly higher capacity than buses (single decker buses at least) and also tend to have faster acceleration profiles. If fully segregated from other traffic, they can offer benefits that buses don't, particularly over longer routes.
It's all very marginal though, and a question of cost vs benefits. Sometimes a bus is just better. But sometimes trams can make more sense than simply having a segregated line, like Bogota's Bus Rapid Transit System. |
