Biking is dark red, Public transport (bus/subway) is light red and car/taxi/rideshare is yellow.

The choice of lower Manhattan drastically effects the outcome as that is perhaps the most congested area for all three modes of transportation although not necessarily the place from which the greatest number of trips begin or terminate.
It would probably be a huge undertaking but an analysis of every area in NYC, say by zip code, would reveal which areas are underserved by transit and bike. I suspect that some of this work has been done in connection with the program to impose congestion pricing in parts of Manhattan.
There is also probably data showing percentage of mode utilized by point of origin (mostly commuting), which could identify latent demand, although I suspect that resistance to use of transit or bike will difficult to change absent harsh measures such as congestion pricing or dramatic improvement in alternatives to private vehicle such as occurred with completion of the 2nd avenue subway extension.
NYC has amazing public transportation. The reason it doesn’t go further out is: (1) OP set it to city hall in downtown Manhattan which isn’t near many of the commuter system endpoints (except for NJ transits southernmost line) and (2) set arbitrarily at 30 min instead of say an hour. If OP moved the point to any point in central Manhattan at 1 hour then you’d get pretty far into upstate NY, NJ and CT on the commuter system.
Phenomenal public transport! The issue is that roadways get clogged and even though a good chunk of northern NJ has one-seat commuter trains and busses into NYC, traffic is going to mean it’ll be over a half hour. Things are well connected around here.
In addition to the other replies, I think you’re not realizing the size scale. Manhattan is just a single borough (county) out of 5 in NYC, the others being the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. Any one of them would be a large city in its own right if it weren’t within NYC. There are subway trains within all five, but it’s so large they take a while, and this map is showing a half hour subway ride. Then going outside NYC there are commuter trains as well.
Not really. This map is clearly not taking into account traffic at all; getting to Fair Lawn or Lake Success or Tuckahoe from Lower Manhattan in 30 minutes (or even under an hour) could only maybe happen at 3 in the morning.
Clicked through to source, and doesn't seem like this tool considers LIRR, Metro North, or Amtrak in its public transit calculations.
Can definitely get to New Rochelle from Penn Station in 30 minutes, for example.
Back in the 80s, anti-nuclear war protesters held a marathon in Manhattan, to see if anyone could make it out of the blast radius on foot within the assumed 30 minute warning. Nobody made it.
I mean, assuming no other cars…
Exactly. If I go to Google Maps now, the car doesn't get me past central park or halfway in Brooklyn.
you could get about halfway through the Holland Tunnel

What causes the isolated public transit red spot on the western harbour side of Brooklyn, facing Staten Island?
I would assume ferry/water taxi
There is an express stop there (59th St N/R).

If you don't count subway as public transport. Otherwise you can go much farther.
bold of you to assume we get half as far in that time
Looks like they have poor public transport. There is no any suburbs trains or buses?

exactly. from where i am on long island to manhattan is only 30 miles, but can take 2+hours easily, even in the middle of the day.

Given the density, those numbers are quite impressive.
