Not for all of the route, typically. Metrolink only in the city centre then it turns into a Metro line for the rest of the commuter route.

Quite a few do, and the point remains that sharing or not sharing the space with cars isn't a feature that distinguishes trams from buses. You'll can - and do - have dedicated rights of way for both, and you can - and do - share routes with cares for both.
I know of no bus routes that completely separate from cars beyond a strip of paint. I also know of no countries that give buses automatic priority over cars outside of bus lanes.
they exist several places. Brisbane comes to mind but there are others
LA metro G line is a brt with its own private guideway. Supposedly the bus network has been getting more signal priority.
