Ronalda Reihana is located in between the Serzha Lyfaria and Kashtanova stations. Initially, It is named in honor of Theodore Dreiser, an American novelist and journalist, but it was renamed in 2024 in honor of Ronald Reagan, American politician, actor and 40th president of the United States.
At one point the Kyiv City authorities proposed creating the Vulytsia Draizera station of the Kyiv Metro's Livoberezhna Line, although that entire project was scrapped in favor of expanding the existing light rail system.[3]
