Thanks Noemi, this looks good to me. Could we just add a short explanation on the difference between a buffer and network based catchment area type?
"Buffers represent areas accessible from public transport stations based on distances "as-the-crow-flies", while network catchment areas consider the same distance along real-world streets and paths".
Feel free to rephrase this if you'd like.

Can we continue to use the term "network catchment areas" instead of isochrones? I get why you decided to say isochrone, but I worry if this is slightly confusing. If you want, while explaining the difference between the two types above, you could mention that network catchment areas are isochrones.
