In this case, a picture really is worth 1000 words. Check out this map of London, showing exactly how far you can go via the London bus system in a given amount of time, from any location:

Note that the above link uses the new Styled Maps feature in the new Google Maps API v3, which allows you to make your customized Google Map look different than everyone else's! (That's for you programmers, by the way; I have no idea how to use an API.)
Here's another one. This one is better in some ways because it apparently updates itself automatically, based on "GTFS feeds from transit agencies." That is, it is not a static, pre-generated map. If a transit agency changes its schedules, these newer maps will change accordingly. (Hey, I'm no expert here, I just enjoy the advances that technology brings me.)
