The Transpass cards have stickers, with "M" for male and "F" for female.
Living as a woman, Charlene was using a female sticker. She says the driver told her she couldn't use the transpass, because she's not female.
But, she says, she's also been stopped when her transpass had a male ID sticker.
"There has been incidents where I have gone to get on a bus with a male transpass, presenting myself as a female, and a driver said I can't use it," Moore-Arcila said. "I'm like, can you make up your mind which I need to purchase?"
Charlene has filed a complaint with SEPTA, which maintains the stickers prevent fraud.
