Even in the long run trams are usually more expensive per passenger transported than buses. Probably depends on many factors like economy of scale (a large tram network has better economy of scale than a small one) and regional variations of cost. The discussion is therefore pointless.
However, the capacity factor remains and is *the* essential justification for trams over buses.
After all, a subway is also way more expensive per passenger than buses or trams, even in the long run. It also has the main advantage of having higher capacity.
