Thank you very much, Our Tort System!!!
Please help me one more sentence. In this paragraph, what does the word "these" stand for?

This unique mode combines the advantages of a fixed route with the convenience of curbside pickup and delivery. Currently six routes serve the Telecom Corridor, South Irving, South and East Plano, Garland/Rowlett and the Lake June area of southeast Dallas. A Local fare is charged for boardings at bus stops and a System fare for trips within a designated zone off the fixed route. These are accepted according to the operator’s ability to accommodate the trip within the schedule.
