Reading a basic text in my book, I found this short phrase with a relative
clause:

> あの人達もバスに乗る人達ですか。

I would probably translate this sentence with:

> Even those people will get on the bus?

If my translation is correct, what's the difference between the sentence above
and the following?

> あの人達もバスに乗りますか。

Relative with repeated subject
> A) あの人達もバスに乗る人達ですか。
>
> B) あの人達もバスに乗りますか。

You're absolutely correct. A and B mean the same thing, and B is more concise
and to the point. A might sound redundant.

If a native Japanese kid write A, it may be proofread and corrected to B by
their school teacher.

In other words, the sentence A is a typical-example-on-a-language-textbook
sentence in order to teach you a relative clause. It may be unnatural in some
of our actual daily life's settings, although it is grammatically correct and
makes sense.
