From the Columbus Dispatch:
Columbus residents looking to ride in luxury now have a “light” option.
Tucked among the 200-some Lincolns, Cadillacs and other vehicles that make up the city’s fleet of licensed liveries is a 2013 Honda Fit.
Yes, the same Honda Fit that Edmunds.com   described as “harking back to Honda’s early days when tiny, nimble hatchbacks were its calling card” now carries a license as a luxury vehicle in Columbus.
Approving the license didn’t come without some hesitation. At a Vehicle for Hire Board meeting last month, chairwoman Ramona Patts voiced “concerns about the Fit.” That brought jokes from the audience, including someone asking whether the car had straps to carry it around when you’re not driving.
The board approved the license pending confirmation that the owner, Larry D. Walker, had obtained state livery plates.
Last week, city license manager Thom Ibinson said the city received that confirmation.
State rules say that a livery vehicle must be operated for hire on an hourly basis through a prearranged contract and seat nine or fewer passengers.
