Appropriate contexts

The evidence available suggests that personalised journey planning (PJP) may be more appropriate in urban environments. However, it should be noted that it has been successful in Australian cities, which are often less dense than European cities. Thus, PJP should not be immediately discounted for an area that is not densely developed. However, more evidence on impacts in different area types is needed.
