The term 'railbus' does usually not refer to a dual-mode vehicle but merely refers to a self-propelled traincar that is built using many bus components (or built using the design philosophy that is more automotively focused that the traditional train design philosophy) and designed to serve the usage levels that are more typical for buses.
