Frankly I would prefer a metro line to a bus but I suppose that depends on the capacity of the bus. I had heard that bendy buses - VanHool ExquiCity (smart vehicles: I believe Belfast have a number of them) - were proposed for the BRT route in Solihull but I don't know if that is still the case. Either way the 18m ExquiCity, if used, only has a maximum of 44 seats so I would have thought that the capacity of a tram would be greater.I've heard informally that this may be extended to Arden Cross in preference to a new Metro line.
