How to Ride the Train in Cyberpunk 2077

In Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.1, developers introduced several new features, notably a functional metro system. The addition of a working train had long been anticipated, and now players can seamlessly ride through Night City without the need for game modification, as it is now available in the base game. For instructions on how to ride the train in Cyberpunk 2077, refer to our guide below.

Step 1: Get the NCART Pass

Before you can hop on the metro, you’ll need an NCART Pass. Thankfully, getting the pass is easy and happens naturally as you progress through the game.

1. Progress Through the Story: Continue playing through the main storyline. The NCART Pass becomes available shortly after the events at Konpeki Plaza.
2. Check Your Inbox: Once you’ve reached the required story point a message will be sent to your phone with the NCART Pass included. V will inspect the pass upon reading the message.

If you try to use the metro without this pass, the option to ride won’t be available—you’ll only be able to fast travel via the station menu.

Step 2: Locate a Metro Station

Once you have the NCART Pass, it’s time to head to a metro station. These stations are marked on your map with purple “M” icons, making them easy to spot no matter where you are in Night City.

Step 3: Ride the Train

At the metro station, approach the entrance and interact with the system. You’ll be presented with two options:

• Fast Travel: Use the metro as a quick travel system.
• Ride the Metro: Select this option to fully experience the train ride.

When you choose to ride the metro, you’ll step onto the train and have the freedom to:

• Sit or Stand: Enjoy the ride in whichever position suits you.
• Take in the View: Look out the window to soak up the unique scenery of Night City’s vibrant districts.
• People-Watch and Listen: Observe other passengers or enjoy ambient music during your ride.
• Give Money: You can give people money while riding the train.

The metro system runs on several lines throughout Night City, making it a great way to explore different areas without relying on vehicles or fast travel.

Step 4: Exit the Metro

When you’re ready to end your ride, simply choose to disembark. You’ll exit at the current or next stop, arriving at the corresponding metro station. From there, you can continue your adventure in Night City.

Why Ride the Metro?

The metro system isn’t just a convenient way to get around—it’s a feature that adds depth and immersion to Night City. For roleplaying (RP) players, the NCART system is a perfect tool to enhance the experience of living in V’s shoes, letting you explore the city at a slower, more personal pace.

Beyond its practical and immersive benefits, the addition of the metro is also significant for longtime fans of the game. It represents a way for the developers to deliver on a feature shown in an early trailer of Cyberpunk 2077. The working metro was a promised aspect of Night City’s vision, and with Update 2.1, CD Projekt Red has brought that vision to life.

Whether you’re sightseeing, roleplaying, or just appreciating Night City from a new angle, riding the metro is a small yet meaningful way to enjoy the enhanced world of Cyberpunk 2077.

This isn’t the only new thing that has been added to Cyberpunk 2077 in updates. Players can get the Laminate-Armor Media Ballistic Vest, Rebecca’s Shotgun, and complete a special Balatro quest all thanks to new patches.
