TravelTime Maps: Area covered in a given time with a given mode of transportation - https://app.traveltime.com/

Visualise where's reachable within a travel time limit

I use this tool when I'm looking for a place to move home.

While the maps for walking and cycling look rather unsurprising, the maps for driving and public transports can reveal surprising insights.

I don't want to check apartments only to find out they are too far away from my points of interest. And with too far away, I naturally mean time, not distance. Traveltime Maps helps with that.

So I create a map layer centered around my workplace, a layer for friends, a layer for another point of interest. The common overlap area is the area in which I would be willing to live. By definition, all my regular trips can be done within the time limit I find acceptable.

An example for Tokyo, public transport, 75 minutes:
