Other than that, though, I don't... think so. If anyone knows otherwise, I'd love to find out. As a generality (blah blah always are exceptions blah blah), though, trams have higher capacity per vehicle than buses do. Prior to the mid-20th century, European trams are significantly faster than European buses, so if you're using them over distances where speed matters, they can be pretty handy that way (they make good intercity passenger transportation options if you're going for the Truck Fever achievement). The American lineup mostly favors buses for speed, but trams for capacity.
Actually, this is a thing in Russia too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimean_Trolleybus
It was built as an alternative to building a train line.
It's my strategy. Also, only using a main hub for passenger rail that the neighbour city tram connects to. And utilize passenger rail lines for more distant travel. Often connecting 2 cities could be effective with just trams; while >2 could be rail, and more distant air. Water lines tend to be most effective on higher terrain maps, or vast waterways..
In most cases Trams are better, especially for the EU set, but the US set is very good too. End Game buses have 2 more capacity then trams do.....that is it, TWO passengers. So really its all up to what you like best. Only "real" advantage is Buses are faster with a higher top speed vs trams, but again, its all really what you like best.
