NCART City Center Station

NCART City Center Station is a subway station featured in the pen and paper RPG Cyberpunk 2020, as well as Cyberpunk 2077.

Overview
On the south side of 5th street, wedged between the cold glass high rises of Demitrov, Koski, Pang & Lo, wide concrete steps lead down to the NCART station. There have been sporadic attempts by the City to keep the stairs clean and the brass railings polished, but the fumes, dust and trash integral to a subway line keeps them gritty.

The platform itself is a typical concrete slab, with a few, molded concrete benches scattered about. There is a shoeshine stand tended by and ancient Hispanic Man, a small overpriced barber shop, and a newsstand with screamsheets, books etc.

The Transit Police Keep the platform clear of beggars, and dorphers, but there are a large number of young boys and girls here at all hours of the day, plying their trade. Rumor has it that some are so skilled they can administer their services on a crowded maglev car with no one else being the wiser. There are also those who make aggressive passes at prospective clients as a cover to pick pockets.

The juviegangers refer to this station as "The Zoo". This is their most popular hangout, because the security is loose and the clients less depraved than those found in the Plaza Center station (aka "The Jungle"), yet the money is every bit as good. Despite the fact that most of the kids are hooked on one or more illegal drugs, they know the letter of the law and can avoid doing anything technically illegal when trying to turn a truck. That, and the fact that their customer base is made of rich taxpayers, prevents the Transit Police from running them off, although NCART has mounted a few sting operations.

Security Level: 0
