In the UK at least, trains are more roomy, you can easily walk around, have a shop, multiple toilets, and get there in less than half the time of buses. The same things apply in Australia when you're travelling any significant distances.

Yes, within large suburban sprawls the trains are often inferior in some ways to buses, but for longer distances, trains win in most countries. Japan, Australia, France, Gernmany, Denmark, Sweden, the UK, etc.

Mostly they can also use power supplies that are getting cleaner and more efficient as time goes by.
