The tl;dr seems to be that capacity will be 13-15% of the norm (the norm is 9m people per day, so 1.17m-1.35m), and with double decker buses only able to ferry 22% of their normal load around, and tube carriages only carrying 7% of their normal load if 2m social distancing is maintained.
(Wouldn't put it past Bloomberg to have just added the 7% + 22% = 29% / 2 = 14.5% to arrive at their implied 13-15% range.)
The mayor is temporarily placing traffic restrictions in certain areas and widening cycle lanes and pavements to encourage more bikes/pedestrian transit.
