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.
