Data were analyzed using triangulation.Results: The local government of Surakarta has provided some transport facilities. However, these transport facilities are in low standard and non-accessible to people with disability. Transportation accessible to people with disability is not of priority. According to the provider this was because of limited budget. Consultation and coordination amongst the providers were on going in order to provide better transportation system accessible to people with disability.Conclusion: Transportation system was not accessible to people with disability. But the government provider in charge of transportation is planning to provide transportation system to people with disability. Keywords: transportation, facility, accessibility, disability, public services transportation.Correspondence: Endang Sri Wahyuni.
