So they get on a train to go a few metres and then transfer to a bus?

Wonderful, except what do they do at the other end of the ferry ride? The ferry goes to rural places where a car is a necessity.

I think it's sustainable.
They catch cars and buses from disparate places that feed into a train line. A train is a corridor and doesn't serve urban sprawl well. The train line can be extended as the suburbs extend yes, but right now there's not an obvious high density pocket of population to head toward with one.
Exit on the right in the direction of travel.
