    > ZERO public transport from Staten Island to NJ

I only see three bridges off the island. Can you walk any of them? Hoboken light rail in Bayonne isn't so far.

Looks like a 2 or 3 mile walk from the nearest public transport stops that I can find. Maybe someone local can find a closer stop.

Forest Ave/Goethals Rd North to Bayway Ave at Mckinley St.

Edit: This could be a fun game - find the two spots with the greatest ratio of driving vs public transport. I think those two are pretty good candidates.

Distance: 2.5 mile.

Drive 9AM: 5-9 minutes, 11PM: 4-6 minutes.

Public transport 9AM: 1:52, 11PM: 3:34.

Ratio (using the average drive time) 9AM: 16, 11PM: 42.8.

Another game: when is public transport slower than walking?

According to Google Maps it's not in this case - I'm getting a walking time of 14:37 (!), where the "walk" includes a ferry from Weehawken to Manhattan and the Staten Island Ferry. However Google Maps doesn't seem to know you can walk across the Goethals bridge.

It's not the bridge, the starting point seems to be on a freeway or something, if you move the starting point slightly toward the bridge it will show proper walking directions.

There are 4 bridges: Goethals, Outerbridge, Bayonne, and Verrazano. You can walk on Goethals and Bayonne. I was actually thinking a few weeks ago about walking from Elizabeth to Bayonne someday, just for the heck of it.

I forgot about Verrazano! I was only thinking about routes to NJ.
