Which recommended model should I adopt for my research in Green public transportation: The purpose of the study is to optimize the routes used by the bus fleets based on different bus technologies (i.e. CNG buses, diesel buses, LNG buses and petroleum) in accordance with the least cost and least greenhouse gas (GHG). The available data includes routes distance, cost of fuel, amount of fuel(litres) and type of technology used.
Dear Bhekani Ntuli,
I would suggest developing a virtual model for your Public Transportation System (PTS) as a kind of "Digital Twin of PTS (DT-PTS)". DT-PTS allows you to propose an Intelligent/Adaptive PTS. Artificial Intelligence plays a very important role in this. The concept of DT-PTS would make it possible to develop intelligent solutions for PTS and use them effectively.
The Idea of DTs is illustrated by my figures at the address:

Here are some sources that can explain my proposal in more detail.
Best regards and much success
Anatol Badach

There are several approaches you could use, it mostly depends of the level of integration, technological implementation, complementary infrastructure you want to use, and several other elements. This book could be useful for you in order to have a clearer idea of what you can consider an ideal solution.
