LONDON (Reuters) - More commuters should consider cycling or walking when Britain's coronavirus lockdown is eased to take the pressure off public transport capacity that is likely to drop by 90% under social distancing requirements, Transport Minister Grant Shapps said on Saturday. He urged people to continue to work from home where possible, but said those who did have to commute to work should consider cycling or walking rather than using their cars
