Wait this isn't a thing in the west?
They are being phased out in most places. I think in favor of train and electric buses.
In my city in Spain I remember them from when I was a child. They were removed during the early 2000s. But ten years ago, last time I visited, they still had some in Seville.
I like them because they are much quieter than buses and honestly it makes so much sense... buses rarely have to go out of their route
We have them in at least one city in Austria (Linz), although it's only one or two bus lines out of a few dozen I think.
