That one is interesting because the rail vehicles are actually high-floor with high platforms; except for the location of the power pickup (overhead rather than 3rd rail), it’s not really that different from having a section of the Toronto subway sharing space with buses.
It's interesting how much platforms affect perception. Calgary has a ‘surface subway’, but substantially the same vehicles (Siemens U2A/SD-1x0) in other cities are plainly just streetcars.
