Based on an existing tool for analyzing the viability and cost effectiveness of different electric bus systems, the extension to other types of transportation is discussed. Similarities and dissimilarities are explored, the implications on the analysis tool in general and on its principal components are described, and the implementation of support for refuse collection is reported. Besides route- and timetable data, relatively few and minor issues need to be considered.
