But this would be eye wateringly expensive. Imagine all the towns and villages that buses serve and now lay rail on all the roads. But it would be even more crazy since the idea would be to increase frequency and variety of destinations.
Now you also need to buy expensive trams (relative to a bus), maintain both rail and roads.

The rails wear out far slower than roads, and rail vehicles don’t need as much maintenance as road vehicles
If the rail vehicles displaced enough cars to reduce the need to resurface and rebuild the roads as often the economics could be good
