A coronavirus government bailout worth £1.6 billion has been agreed to prop up the Tube and London's transport system.
Meanwhile, mayor Andy Burnham said Greater Manchester was 'still waiting for a few million'.
He's previously warned the Metrolink system could be 'mothballed', or shut down completely, due to plummeting passenger numbers as a result of the Covid-19 lockdown.
The deal for London, announced tonight, is reportedly worth £1.1bn in cash together with a £505m loan.
The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, had warned Transport for London would need to reduce services unless an agreement was reached by the end of Thursday.
Mr Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, took to Twitter to respond to a news article on the developing story.
"And still Greater Manchester waits for a few million," he wrote.
The M.E.N. reported earlier this month Mr Burnham warning Metrolink's long-term future would remain uncertain, despite the government agreeing to a £11.6m bailout.
The emergency funding is likely to run out in June.
The cash injection provided by the government only covers 73 per cent of what Metrolink has lost since the start of the coronavirus lockdown.
Greater Manchester leaders have been told by combined authority chief executive Eamonn Boylan that cash reserves could be used to make up for the shortfall - but not for long.
Mr Burnham and other mayors across the country have written to the government calling for a new funding deal to support light-rail systems.
The bailout agreed by the government is designed to keep Metrolink running for 12 weeks - to enable key workers including NHS staff to work.
In late April, Metrolink was said to be losing around £5.5m a month with the lockdown measures forcing all but essential workers off the network.
Passenger numbers vanished, with Metrolink's monthly income dropping from £6m to 'well below £1m', Mr Burnham said.
"If we are going to be running public transport with much lower levels of occupancy, we're going to need a proper funding deal that will carry us through this period and and the rest of the year," he said when the bailout was announced.
"If we don’t get that deal, I’m afraid that mothballing will have to come back on the table.
"We can potentially find that level of money from reserves but we couldn’t find that on an ongoing basis."
The deal for London came after the capital's transport system reportedly saw a 90 per cent fall in income because of the coronavirus lockdown, The Mirror reported.
But the Government made a number of demands in turn, including the return of 100 per cent of tube services.
They also want any absences reported direct to the government, a review of TFL finances and officials will sit on TFL board.
The London Underground saw a decline in passenger numbers of 95 per cent, while on buses figures fell by 85 per cent on buses due to the coronavirus lockdown.
Hours earlier Transport Secretary Grant Shapps indicated tube and bus fares in London would rise as part of a bailout.
Transport for London has been in talks with ministers for several weeks over a grant, as it requires £3.2 billion to balance its proposed emergency budget for 2020/21.
