Nashville Mayor Karl Dean emphasized the importance of healthy habits—such as taking public transportation—in his May 14 appearance on CBS This Morning. The story, which focused on the mayor’s efforts to increase exercise and lower obesity levels among the city’s residents, included Dean’s ride on a Nashville Metropolitan Transit Authority bus. “I probably ride the bus two or three mornings a week,” Dean told CBS reporter Chip Reid. “I really enjoy it. It’s a great way to start the morning. People are incredibly friendly and you get a little exercise. You get out and you meet people.”
