Is it possible to hire an attorney to show up to court and take care of these warrants for me?

About three years ago I received two tickets for fare evasion. I never showed up to court and just recently discovered that I have two warrants. I am petrified about going to court.

If it was filed as a class C theft then yes. Hire a lawyer who handles traffic matters.

You can hire a traffic attorney to appear for you possibly. It just depends on the court.

Yes, you can hire a lawyer to file Attorney Bonds, that will lift the warrants, the Attorney can then appear with you to negotiate and pay the fines. The benefit of hiring the lawyer in this case is the lawyer can have the warrants lifted before you go to court and depending on the court, the lawyer may be able to plea Nolo Contendre and negotiate the fines even without you there. You will of course have to pay the fines, court cost, and your attorney, so this is the most expensive bus/train ride you ever took. But, it is still better than sitting a couple days in the city jail.

First go to a bail bondsman and get rid of the warrants. Hopefully a good bondsman will be able to do this without you going to jail. Then once that is covered you have to hire an attorney and fight the cases.
