Randalls Island is a recreation area. The southern half is Wards Island, which is full of mens shelters and mental hospitals. They all ride the M35 bus to get to Manhattan

Many of the people who are assigned to shelters on Wards Island rely on the bus. In addition, the Wards Island shelter is one of the few in the city that can accommodate people with disabilities, so using pedestrian paths isn’t an option.
