How many buses can you even replace with a Lint on a single track?
The city has to maintain the roads anyway, regardless of whether buses run on it. I supposed there is a marginal cost for extra maintenance, but I can't imagine that would be more then hundreds of millions in capex, plus the operating cost of the train.
