People will be asked to stop working from home and go back to the office from next month, it is being reported.
It is understood the Prime Minister is keen on staff who are currently working remotely to go back to their workplaces to help boost the economy.
Ministers are said to be ready to sign off on a 'grading' system to allow for far more leeway with public transport usage so the public feel more comfortable using trains and buses again.
A Government source told The Sun that August had been earmarked for the introduction of the new "nuanced system" for travel networks as it is usually the quietest period, when people are often taking time off anyway.
It won't be a green light for bosses to force all staff back into work, however.
The plan is set to be laid out on Friday, with Mr Johnson keen on pushing a 'containment framework' to give people confidence that the pandemic is under control.
"The message will encourage the public to use the networks a little more, the blanket ban will go and will be replaced with a nuanced system," the source said.
"The general feeling is to do it at this time of year because the summer is normally quieter, and given that there aren’t tourists around, people can build confidence slowly and cautiously."
Peak rush hour usage between 7am and 9am is still to be advised against, which will remain for essential travel.
Instead, Brits will be encouraged to drive, walk and cycle, and only use buses and trains between 9am and 4pm, and after 8pm.
It comes as the UK's coronavirus death toll reached 45,053 on Wednesday - an increase of 85 on the day before.
Greece has, meanwhile, reopened to direct flights from the UK and Rishi Sunak has admitted tax rises could be on the way to rescue the economy, reports The Mirror.
While Mr Johnson claimed UK's test and trace system was "as good as" any in the world, Number 10 was unable to offer any evidence for the claim.
From July 24, it will become compulsory to wear a face covering when visiting a supermarket or High Street shop or you may be fined £100.
