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.

nothing like validating her claim in one easily pridictable corporate moment of idiocy. im sure if any of you have ever taken mass transit im sure you have seen these books theyre refering to the drivers keep them on the windo ledge of the bus and fill it out at the end of their shift. theyre usually marked up with all kinds of writing im sure of course that had it been any othe remployee they to would have been discharged as well.
