IIRC, in ridership models time spent transferring (particularly if it involves waiting on platforms) is weighted as being perceived as longer than time spent in a slower vehicle. A 1/3 of a mile connection is already very long for a transit connection—1/3 of a mile through an unpleasant environment just makes things worse.
Ferry-bus shuttle/ugly walk-regional rail line (particularly if it doesn’t run at high frequencies) is a pretty cumbersome commute.
