So, the tram has tyres? Like a bus?
Or is it maglev, which would be nice?

It probably just uses the magnetic "rail" to guide it on the road.

SoI I'm guessing it could be replaced by a 5$ GPS reciever

the magnets don't directly move the vehicle, the field it generates is just measured by the sensor on the car to be able to get reliably accurate position data iirc

gps definitely can't provide that level of accuracy reliably
