Hackathon means hacking -> Now HAFAS API provides kind of isoline for you. Just take a look: https://demo.hafas.de/bvg-hackathon/restproxy/locGeoReach?accessId=27ef1c6d-fe98-49c2-974e-211a94fdba7f&id=900007102&duration=10 (runs from Gesundbrunnen in this sample and shows what is reachable in10 minutes).
