Low-income population is one of the groups that are vulnerable to transport
disadvantage because of its limited resourees, especially if they also live in areas ..which arc
not served by adequate public transportation. In such conditions, a motorcycle becomes an
alternative solution to meet their mobility needs. Unfortunately, how motorcycle is used by
low- income people and the influencing factors have not been fully understood. This study
aims to understand the motorcycle usage in low-income people and identify the factors that
contribute to the motorcycle usage in low-income people. Districts and household level of
analysis were conducted in Yogyakarta Urbanized Area (YUA), Indonesia in 2014. Based on
the results, the study suggests a more inclusive public transport planning in YUA by
considering the need of low-income people so that efforts being made to reduce the use of
motorcycles will not compromise the mobility of low- income people.
