Sydney's new city metro is already proving so popular, it's drawing passengers away from the old train network with fewer commuters at major city stations.

Businesses near the metro are also doing well as foot traffic takes off.

On the new metro with a ministerial inspection, not just the staff, the trains, the stations, but what's happening around them.

Not just for people and the way they move about, but the businesses that are also benefiting.

Before the metro we were doing maybe 150, 200 couples a day and then as soon as the metro opened we're at 500.

Already we're finding an increase in business.

It's now bringing more pedestrians up the hills, up to Martin Place.

Compared with last week, Tuesday saw 10,000 fewer passengers tapping off at Town Hall as 14,000 went through the new Gadigal metro station.

In North Sydney, the train station fell from 27,000 to 17,000 Tuesday tap-offs as nearby Victoria Cross metro had 14,000 go through.

The move to metro taking pressure off trains, improving their reliability.

Because metro is so fast and frequent, people could move from the CBD to perhaps have lunch in Victoria Cross.

Here, 27 metres below the ground is the station that will be dealing with the biggest surge in passengers on the new Metro West line.

Sydney Olympic Park, designed to handle some 40,000 passengers an hour.

And Paul Caddack is in Parramatta tonight where there's more trouble for the new light rail.

News that probably won't go down too well here on Church Street.

That the Parramatta light rail has run into problems during testing, which means its launch will have to be pushed back again to late this year.

There's apparently been issues with power supply and Opal card payments.

We don't want passengers to be used as guinea pigs.

We want to make sure this service is running exactly how it should.

That'll make the nearly $3 billion project around a year late, Angela.
