^No, there are still other factors that keep it separate from a bus...

Regardless of if the train's frequency on avg is 1 min, 2 min, 5 min, 15 min, 26 min, 45 min, 50 min, 69 min, 100 min, 1 000 000 000 000 000 min it is still a train not a bus. For example, a train like LRT may or may not be too frequent, but when that train does come, it will bypass regular traffic whereas regular buses will be in it. Streetcars like those in Toronto and Portland are definitely close to buses though.
