If the buses use electric traction and charge continuously whilst on the guideway, that could be a win, in allowing for smaller batteries and less downtime than a regular electric bus (especially if the unguided portion of the route is a “last mile”, comprising a relatively small proportion of the route). If they’re just regular diesel buses, it seems somewhat pointless.
