If your hypothetical tracked buses are going to go faster than regular buses and cars there will need to be some sort of isolation of them, such as elevated tracks or underground tracks. That raises the cost significantly.
You probably will only be able to afford this on a few routes that are heavily travelled and that are expected to remain heavily travelled for decades.
That will probable leave a lot of your city far enough from a tracked buses stop that many won’t be within reasonable walking distance so you are still going to need some form of public transit, such as regular buses.
Much nicer when it’s easy to step on/step off.
Put a trendy restaurant next to the tracks, and watch the trains back up as multiple Uber Eats drivers park on the tracks to pick up food.
Happens every day where I live. The city won't do anything about it because most of the local politicians hate the trains.
Where are you seeing this supporting data?

this ad-article "Jaarlijks worden er om en nabij 150 personen behandeld in een ziekenhuis na een aanrijding met een tram en komen er zelfs 40 personen te overlijden na een tramongeval." - I think what they mean is 40 people in a decade?
