These actually point of a failure mode of the original topic's visualization, at least as it pertains to public transit: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/40/Ma...

(I think a previous commenter called this out by referring to subways as "wormholes")

As for car directions, you should be able to create an isochron by drawing circles in the transformed map!

Yes! The fact that isochrones become circles is one of my favorite things about this. I also discuss this in the video (https://youtu.be/rC2VQ-oyDG0?t=134) I made about these.
