Abstract Motorcycles are a mode of transportation that is a mainstay of low-income communities in the City of Makassar to travel. The prices of motorcycles that are relatively affordable, along with the ease in motorcycle ownership credit systems, make it easier for low-income people to own a motorcycle. As a result, there is an increase in the number of motorcycles in the City of Makassar, which is one of the causes of traffic congestion in the city. This study aims to analyze the role of motorcycles for low-income communities in the City of Makassar with the research objects are located in 4 locations with a relatively high number of low-income communities, namely Untia Village, Baraya Village, Buloa Village, and Banta-Bantaeng Village. Field data in the form of questionnaire results are then processed using descriptive statistical methods. The results of this study indicate that aside from being a means of transportation, motorcycles also become savings for their owners because they are considered easy to sell or mortgaged to get cash.
