NEW YORK (Reuters) - Only one in five commuters in mass transit-dependent New York City will be able to reach their office under the six-foot social distancing protocol due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to commercial real estate broker Savills Plc.
Almost 2 million people daily used the subway, commuter rail lines or buses to reach their jobs in Manhattan before New York state shut down non-essential business in March, Savills said in a report detailing a big obstacle for companies to bring workers back to the office as work-from-home restrictions are lifted.
