How Far Can You Commute in One Hour?

If you have ever wondered how far you can commute using public transport then you will love the commutometer interactive map. Just click on your home on the commutometer interactive map and it will show you how far you can travel in 5 minute intervals by subway, train, bus, tram or ferry.

Drag the green marker to your home address on commutometer and you can view an isochrone map visualizing how far you can travel on public transport in incremental journey times. Obviously how far you can travel by public transport in one hour can depend on the time when you wish to travel. Commutometer accounts for changes in the public transport timetable by allowing you to enter the day and time of when you want to travel.

As well as providing an overall isochrone layer commutometer also allows you to query the journey times for individual destinations. After the isochrone layer has loaded you can click on any address within the isochrone layer to view the exact journey time from your defined origin. 

Commutometer doesn't work everywhere in the world. If you zoom out the areas where the map doesn't work are shown using an opaque mask. These areas are also labeled 'no data' to show that the map can't access public transportation data at these locations.   

You can explore more journey travel time maps using the Maps Mania isochrone label. This includes the very popular How Far Can You Go By Train in 5h?, an interactive map which shows you how far you can travel from any European rail station in less than five hours.
