They're actually very good vehicles for when you want a bus that absolutely can not deal with any kind of imperfect road. You get to avoid the inherent efficiency of track while also avoiding the flexibility of rubber tire buses.
Yes, we use them on an airfield. We call them slugs because you watch them from the terminal or tower and they look like they’re crawling around like slugs. Not seeing the wheels as they just slowly creep across a taxiway is hilarious.
