Dallas Area Rapid Transit reportedly placed a transgender bus driver on paid administrative leave Sunday, April 18 in response to written comments she made suggesting that the agency discriminates against employees.

The comments accusing DART of discrimination were made on cards that allow drivers to report maintenance problems with their buses at the end of their shifts, sources said. DART maintained that the driver was defacing agency property by using the cards for another purpose.
