The government has announced that it has put aside £30 million to keep trams and metro trains running for key workers for a further 12 weeks.
Millions of pounds have been lost due to the coronavirus lockdown.
But the Mayor of Greater, Andy Burnham, has said that the money was not enough.
The funding is split between Midlands Metro Nottingham Express Trains, Tyne and Wear Metro, Sheffield Supertram and Manchester Metrolink systems.
UK Tram’s Manager, James Hammett, said: There has been difficult times in securing a deal because of the different contractual obligations under which networks operate.
A DfT spokesperson added: “We are aware of the challenges faced by transport operators and continue to work closely with the sector and transport authorities to ensure that passengers can make essential journey”.
Transport Secretary, Grant Shapps, said that protecting transport was “vital”.
