Because TS supports MPEG-2 just like MPEG does, the video stream can be carried across without a quality-costing re-encode.
TS is built for streaming and progressive download, so the result starts playing before it has fully loaded, which the source format does not do well.
At 1080p, MPEG typically runs around 5.5 Mbps while TS sits near 15 Mbps, which is the main driver of the size difference you will see.
This is an older container, introduced in 1995, and browsers will not play it directly. It is best suited to archival or a dedicated player.
This page converts MPEG video, stored in the MPEG-1/2 Program Stream container since 1993, into TS, which uses MPEG-2 Transport Stream and dates from 1995. The codecs each container accepts decide whether the picture has to be re-encoded.
MPEG comes from MPEG and dates to 1993. It usually holds MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video with MP2 or MP3 sound, and those streams set the ceiling for anything converted out of it.
TS comes from MPEG and dates to 1995. It holds MPEG-2, H.264, or H.265 video alongside AAC, AC-3, or MP2 audio, and without installing anything it plays on smart TVs.
