Key takeaways
- Metro Eisenhower St is in Arasaka Waterfront, Watson, not in the separate Northside sub-district.
- It is both a fast-travel dataterm and a functioning NCART station.
- The station is served by Lines A and E, making it useful for reaching Watson, City Center and several transfer stations.
- Line A provides the straightforward northern Watson-to-southern Night City route, while Line E offers a route through Megabuilding H10, City Center, Heywood and Westbrook.
- The station itself has no confirmed shops, vendors, named residents or unique collectible directory.
- The nearby Scrolls Before Swine activity takes place at a Maelstrom warehouse on the corner of Industrial Street and Eisenhower Street, but that warehouse is a mission location near Eisenhower Street, not part of the metro station interior.
About this guide
Scope: Base game, including the NCART system added in Update 2.1. Phantom Liberty content is excluded. Location type: NCART metro station and fast-travel dataterm District hierarchy: Watson → Arasaka Waterfront → Metro: Eisenhower St Status: Fully usable in the post-Update 2.1 version of Cyberpunk 2077 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Overview
Metro: Eisenhower St is an NCART station in the Arasaka Waterfront sub-district of Watson. It is one of the northern termini of Night City’s metro network and serves as a practical entry point to the waterfront, the surrounding industrial roads and the wider Watson district.
The station itself is a transport facility rather than a large explorable settlement. It has no independently documented shops, residents, vendors or mission hub attached to it. Its importance comes from three things: its position on the NCART network, its connection with the heavily controlled Arasaka Waterfront, and its proximity to the industrial streets and warehouses used by several Watson activities.
The most important boundary distinction is that Metro: Eisenhower St is not the whole of Arasaka Waterfront. Arasaka Waterfront is a sub-district of Watson containing locations such as Konpeki Plaza and the California & Pershing fast-travel point. Nor should the station be treated as a synonym for Northside, even though Eisenhower Street and nearby industrial areas continue into or approach locations associated with Northside. The station page should therefore cover the station and its immediate access area, while treating nearby missions and buildings as connected locations rather than automatically including them.
---
The correct hierarchy
Watson contains several separate sub-districts, including Arasaka Waterfront, Kabuki, Little China and Northside. The station is specifically catalogued under Arasaka Waterfront, not Northside.
This matters because the surrounding road network can make the districts feel continuous. Eisenhower Street is part of the broader industrial landscape around northern Watson, but a nearby road, warehouse or mission marker should not automatically be treated as part of the station’s area.
The location belongs to the following hierarchy
- 01Night City
- 02Watson
- 03Arasaka Waterfront
- 04Metro: Eisenhower St
What is not included
The following are neighbouring or related locations, but are not part of the metro station itself:
Separate nearby or connected locations
---
Metro: Eisenhower St sits in the northern Watson transport network, within the industrial and corporate-controlled environment of Arasaka Waterfront. The surrounding area reflects the Waterfront’s primary function: logistics, storage and restricted corporate operations rather than open public commerce.
The station is not presented as a grand civic terminal. It functions more like a utilitarian transit stop incorporated into a hostile industrial district. Its placement makes it useful for travelling into or out of the waterfront without crossing the district on foot.
Arasaka Waterfront is visually and mechanically distinct from the denser commercial streets of Kabuki and Little China. The area is marked by large-scale corporate infrastructure, walls, controlled access points, roads designed for freight traffic and a reduced number of openly accessible public businesses. The game’s database description presents the Waterfront as a logistical hub where shipments are inspected, stored and distributed, with Arasaka security intended to keep gangs, scavengers, reporters and ordinary Watson residents away.
Named locations in the station’s immediate hierarchy
Separate nearby or connected locations
Immediate surroundings
The station’s most useful geographical reference is Eisenhower Street. This road helps orientate the player towards the industrial sections of northern Watson and provides a route towards locations associated with Northside.
Do not confuse the station with the Arasaka Waterfront North dataterm. Both are in or near the same broader corporate-industrial region, but they are separate fast-travel points.
---
Lines serving the station
It is therefore more useful than a single-line station, although it is not one of the network’s largest transfer hubs.
The station is listed as an NCART stop on the Eisenhower Street end of the network. The full system contains 19 stations across five lines in the post-Update 2.1 game.
Line A
Line A runs from Eisenhower Street through Watson and City Center before continuing southwards through Heywood and Santo Domingo.
This line is the most direct option for destinations such as Farrier & Ferguson, Memorial Park, Congress & MLK, Wollesen Street and Megabuilding H7.
A useful sequence from Eisenhower Street is
- 01Eisenhower Street
- 02MedCenter
- 03Farrier & Ferguson
- 04Alexander Street
- 05Sarasti & Republic
- 06Memorial Park
- 07Congress & MLK
- 08Wollesen Street
- 09Megabuilding H7
Line E
Line E provides a different route through the network. Its documented sequence includes:
The value of Line E is that it gives direct access to Megabuilding H10 and Charter Hill while still connecting with major interchange stations such as Alexander Street, Congress & MLK and Sarasti & Republic.
Line E: steps
- 01Eisenhower Street
- 02MedCenter
- 03Megabuilding H10
- 04Alexander Street
- 05Wellsprings
- 06Glen South
- 07Congress & MLK
- 08Japantown South
- 09Monroe & Sagan
- 10Ellison Plaza
- 11Sarasti & Republic
- 12Charter Hill
Practical route choices
The in-game destination interface may organise travel by district rather than exposing the entire route in a conventional railway timetable. For exact routing, check the displayed NCART map at the station and use shared stations such as Alexander Street, Congress & MLK or Sarasti & Republic for transfers.
---
Practical route choices
| Destination type | Recommended line |
|---|---|
| Farrier & Ferguson | Line A |
| Megabuilding H10 | Line E |
| Alexander Street | Either A or E |
| Memorial Park | Line A |
| Congress & MLK | Either A or E |
| Wollesen Street | Line A |
| Charter Hill | Line E |
| Megabuilding H7 | Line A, or transfer elsewhere if required |
| Pacifica | Use a suitable transfer, commonly via a major interchange |
Fast travel
Metro: Eisenhower St is a usable fast-travel dataterm. Once discovered, it can be selected from the map like other dataterms.
The station is documented as one of the two fast-travel points in Arasaka Waterfront, the other being California & Pershing.
Riding the train
Update 2.1 made the NCART system fully functional. V can travel between the network’s 19 stations either by fast travel or by boarding the train and watching the journey. The same update added the Radioport, allowing the player to listen to radio stations while travelling on foot or aboard the NCART train.
The train ride is optional. It does not replace fast travel, and there is no unique station-specific reward for riding from Eisenhower Street instead of selecting an instant destination.
Unlock and progression state
The station’s transport functionality depends on the game version and progression state:
There is no evidence that Metro: Eisenhower St has a unique story lock, Street Cred requirement or station-specific unlock quest once the relevant game update is installed.
---
Arasaka Waterfront
Arasaka Waterfront is the station’s parent sub-district. It is a heavily controlled corporate-industrial zone centred on Arasaka logistics and infrastructure.
Konpeki Plaza is a major location in the base game, but it should not be treated as part of the station. The hotel has its own mission context and access conditions, while the metro station is simply a transport point in the same sub-district.
The district’s confirmed directory includes
Northside
Northside is a separate Watson sub-district. It is nearby in the wider northern industrial region and contains several factories, warehouses and gang-controlled sites.
The distinction is especially important when following mission guides. A guide may describe an objective as being on Eisenhower Street or in the Northside area without meaning that the objective is located inside Metro: Eisenhower St.
California & Pershing
California & Pershing is another fast-travel dataterm in Arasaka Waterfront. It is a separate destination and should not be combined with the station in location directories.
Eisenhower Street
Eisenhower Street is the road reference from which the station takes its name. It also appears in mission and map descriptions for nearby industrial locations.
The street is broader than the station. Walking or driving along Eisenhower Street can take the player into areas that belong to different local map labels or mission spaces.

About this guide
Major spoiler-light warning: The gig concerns police corruption and recorded evidence. The important outcome is determined by what V does with the recovered footage and the later communication with the client.
Scrolls Before Swine
The most clearly documented nearby activity is Scrolls Before Swine, a Regina Jones gig.
The gig sends V to a Maelstrom warehouse on the corner of Industrial Street and Eisenhower Street to obtain CCTV footage connected with the target. Guides identify the site as a warehouse rather than the metro station itself.
Requirements
These requirements belong to the gig, not to Metro: Eisenhower St.
What to do
The warehouse can be approached through more than one path, and the exact combat experience may differ according to build, difficulty and player choice. The documented mission objective is the CCTV footage, not an item permanently associated with the metro station.
What to do: A practical route is
- 01Fast-travel to Metro: Eisenhower St.
- 02Leave the station and orientate yourself using Eisenhower Street.
- 03Follow the mission marker towards the Maelstrom warehouse at the Industrial Street intersection.
- 04Enter the warehouse using the available route.
- 05Deal with or avoid the Maelstrom presence.
- 06Reach the office area and retrieve the requested CCTV material.
- 07Leave the site and complete the remaining gig objectives.
Other activities
No independently verified station-specific main job, side job, NCPD scanner activity, cyberpsycho sighting, shop quest or collectible chain has been established for the station itself in the available evidence.
That should not be read as proof that no random encounter, minor loot container or environmental event can ever occur nearby. It means there is insufficient reliable evidence to assign such content specifically to the station rather than to the wider Arasaka Waterfront or Northside area.
---
Arasaka presence
The wider Arasaka Waterfront is controlled by Arasaka. Its walls and security measures are explicitly described as protection for Arasaka’s interests against gangs, scavengers, reporters and unauthorised civilians.
This gives the station a different context from public-facing metro stops in Kabuki or Little China. The player is using public transport in an area whose surrounding infrastructure is corporate-controlled and not designed for unrestricted public access.
Maelstrom
Maelstrom activity is associated with the nearby industrial warehouse used in Scrolls Before Swine. The gang’s presence belongs to the mission location and surrounding industrial environment, not to a permanent station faction directory.
Named residents and visitors
No named resident, merchant, station attendant, police officer or recurring visitor has been verified as permanently assigned to Metro: Eisenhower St.
Factions and groups connected with the immediate area
These are contextual associations. They should not be interpreted as proof that every group is physically present at the platform at all times.

Confirmed services
The station’s main confirmed function is transport. Do not infer additional services from nearby signs, advertisements or decorative storefronts.
Confirmed services
| Service | Available at Metro: Eisenhower St? |
|---|---|
| Fast travel | Yes |
| NCART train boarding | Yes, after the metro system is available |
| District travel | Yes |

Station directory
---
No unique iconic weapon, permanent clothing item, shard collection, tarot card, cyberpsycho trophy or named collectible has been verified as being placed specifically at Metro: Eisenhower St.
The Scrolls Before Swine CCTV footage is a mission objective, not a free-standing collectible. Its placement is tied to the Maelstrom warehouse and should be listed under that mission location.
Verified station-specific item directory
Random environmental loot may vary with the game’s general world placement and should not be presented as a fixed station collectible without direct confirmation.

- 07Avoid assuming that every Arasaka-branded structure is enterable.
Scrolls Before Swine route
---
Metro: Eisenhower St is a useful example of how Cyberpunk 2077 places ordinary public infrastructure inside unequal corporate geography. The NCART system presents the city as connected and navigable, but the station’s surroundings communicate that not every part of Night City is equally public.
In the wider setting, NCART belongs to Night City’s public transport network and links the districts through multiple colour-coded lines. The 2077 database description presents the system as convenient but dangerous, with gangs, mercenaries and criminals treating stations and tunnels as extensions of the city streets.
The station’s location in Arasaka Waterfront adds another layer. Public transport brings V to the edge of an area whose streets and buildings are organised around corporate logistics. The station is therefore less a destination in its own right than a controlled gateway into the industrial north of Watson.
---
Scrolls Before Swine route: steps
- 01Travel to Metro: Eisenhower St.
- 02Follow Eisenhower Street towards Industrial Street.
- 03Use the gig marker rather than relying only on the station name.
- 04Treat the warehouse as a separate mission location.
- 05Complete the evidence objective.
- 06Leave through the route that best suits your build, then return to the client.
Base game
This guide treats the location as it appears in the base game’s modern, post-Update 2.1 form. The station exists as a map and fast-travel location before the metro system becomes rideable, but the fully functional train service was added by Update 2.1.
Phantom Liberty
Phantom Liberty is outside this guide’s scope. The station remains part of the base Night City transport network, but Dogtown stations and Phantom Liberty mission areas should not be folded into this page.
Earlier versions
In earlier versions of Cyberpunk 2077, metro stations functioned primarily as fast-travel markers rather than as a fully implemented passenger railway. Update 2.1 added the ability to travel between 19 stations on five lines by fast travel or by riding the train.
---
Where is Metro: Eisenhower St?
It is in Arasaka Waterfront, Watson. It is not a separate district and should not be confused with the nearby Northside area.
Is Metro: Eisenhower St the same as Arasaka Waterfront?
No. The station is one location within Arasaka Waterfront. The sub-district also includes other destinations, including California & Pershing and Konpeki Plaza.
Which metro lines stop there?
Lines A and E.
Can I ride the train from the station?
Yes, in the Update 2.1 and later version of the game, after the NCART transport feature is available.
Is Scrolls Before Swine inside the station?
No. The gig takes place at a Maelstrom warehouse on the corner of Industrial Street and Eisenhower Street. The station is a useful approach point, but the warehouse is a separate mission location.
Are there shops at the station?
No named shop or functional vendor has been verified at the station itself.
Does the station contain a unique weapon or collectible?
No unique station-specific weapon or collectible has been verified.
Is the station in Northside?
No. It is catalogued under Arasaka Waterfront. Nearby streets and missions may lead towards Northside, but the station and the Northside sub-district should remain separate in location directories.
---
The available evidence verifies the station’s district hierarchy, fast-travel status, NCART connections and nearby Scrolls Before Swine warehouse. It does not provide a reliable, exhaustive in-game interior catalogue for every decorative sign, unnamed passenger, random loot container or background building immediately surrounding the station.
Accordingly, this guide does not claim that every environmental prop or randomly generated item has been catalogued. It also does not treat nearby Arasaka Waterfront buildings as station content unless their connection is directly verified.
