The tram-like bus should make travelling around the city much faster, cheaper, cleaner and reliable
A bus that looks like a tram that says “metro” on the front. Still better than a car.
These buses are 18 meter long and made by Van Hool. In Linz (Austria) we have more than 20 of them, but the larger version with 24 meters that can carry up to 180 passengers.
The 24 meter version is running in Trondheim, Norway. They currently have 58 busses, and are planning to increase with more routes. The city has plenty of narrow streets and a few steep hills, but it doesn’t seem to be a problem unless the weather is extreme in the winter.

Looks like the TVR from Nancy, which was a failure and they’re trying to replace it with trolleybusses
But that utter failure of a tram was actually a tramway that would get on wheels instead of rails at some points. This looks more like the Mettis in Metz which are double articulated hybrid buses using dedicated lanes.
