X in Y minutes

There's a website where I can plug in an address and find out where I can get to in any direction in a city in X minutes using transit. I have lost the link, where is it?

Was it for more than one city? Or was it just for New York, in which case it's Trip Trop NYC.

Which, I should point out, is a creation of soma lkzx.

Similar to that, but I was able to use it for Washington, DC.

I know that google maps does this in some cities. It does in Philadelphia.

When I tried it a few months Mapnificient it didn't work very well for Los Angeles. The answers it gave were completely wrong. I would be wary of using it for anything other than entertainment value. It's a nice idea though.
