Disadvantages: what do you do with traffic signaling? You would either have to move traffic signals up and sideways five meters or so or make this bus a few meters higher, so that you can keep existing infrastructure.
Also: this thing being wider gives it about three times the floor area relative to a train, so it would require about thrice the number of doors to get passengers in and out efficiently. How do you do that while keeping it structurally safe? I guess the answer is that that spacious room inside would see a few walls added.
