How far can you get on transit in 10, 30, 45 minutes?

What a fun toy!  Mapnificent shows you how far you can travel on transit from any address for several cities around the world.

World map showing various locations marked with red pins, concentrated in North America and Europe. The map includes continents, oceans, and labeled countries, with a sidebar offering travel and mapping options.

You can choose the travel time along a sliding bar and choose specific addresses or drag a pin on the map around.  Here’s the blob from the Planning Department’s address set at 30 minutes:

A map highlighting an area in Washington D.C. The highlighted section resembles a shape overlay with labels for various neighborhoods and roads. The background shows a detailed street and city map with surrounding regions.

I was able to quickly look at Chicago and Philadelphia, two cities I’ll be visiting soon, and the times looked about like I’ve experienced before (as does Silver Spring’s).  Nothing for Providence, another city I’ll be visiting this summer, although I know RIPTA has a decent system.

A detailed city map highlighting bus routes and stops with various numbered circles in different colors like red, blue, green, and purple. The central area is labeled "Kennedy Plaza," with roads and landmarks clearly marked.

Maybe more soon.
