Passenger numbers on London's Underground network have fallen by 19 percent as people change behaviour to cope with the coronavirus outbreak, with the decline accelerating as more companies asked staff to work from home, Transport for London said on Monday.

The data for the week starting March 2 also showed a 10 percent drop in London bus passengers.
