which operates a fixed route system to purchase or lease a new bus,

accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, including

vehicle, the public entity only has to make (or to purchase
or lease a remanufactured vehicle with) those modifications
which are necessary to meet the requirements of paragraph
