Venice: Taking Vaporetta from Ferrovia to Murano

In July 2025, I have a trip planned that includes Venice. I would like to take a vaporetto from Ferrovia to Fondamente Nove to Murano. I see that if I cross the Grand Canal bridge at Ferrovia to Riva De Biasio I can catch a vaporetto #5.2.

The question is that there is a dock called S . Giobbe behind the train station that services Fondamente Nove 4.1 and 4.2. I can’t figure out how to walk to S.Giobbe. Is it through the train station?

Thank you

This might not answer your specific question, and it may be wrong (no warranties so check for yourself), but perhaps it will help. Go to GoogleMaps and search for Venice Italy. By zooming way, way in you can see the vap. routes and numbers. It appears that you can take the # 3 route from the Ferrovia "C" dock in front of the train station all the way to Murano if all you want to do is go from the train station to the island.

I also went on Google Maps, and yes, you need to walk through the train station to get to the vaporetto stops. I don't remember seeing any side exits. To get to S. Giobbe, It is about a 12-minute walk. There are 2 routes you can take.

The No 3 boat is direct, skipping Fondamente Nove, every 30 minutes from 6:20 am to 6:10 pm, except for a 50 minute break from 2:50 pm to 3:40 pm.
The No 4.2 boat takes a bit longer and runs until 9 pm and goes every 20 minutes.

All these are in front of the train station. No reason to walk across the bridge.
