The existence of people with disabilities nowadays is related to their past efforts in fighting for their right to be equal to normal people, so that their presence is recognized and equal without being discriminated. “Difa City Tour and Transport”, generally abbreviated as DCTT is a new voice, new medium, and even a new social movement as a social criticism towards the existence of people with disabilities in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

This research was a qualitative research in the form of case study. The researcher used in-depth interview as the main data collection technique. The results of the research showed that DCTT was made because of employment rate for people with disabilities in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. As a consequence of globalization industry which is competitive, the existence of people with disabilities becomes less recognizable. This happened because of many factors: 1) employment opportunities, 2) the stigma of people with disabilities, 3) different type of disabilities, 4) the gap between creativity and policies, and 5) the stakeholders’ influences. Therefore, DCTT that offers technology-based tours and public transportation to facilitate the mobility of people with disability becomes a medium for people with disabilities in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It is made as a medium to empower people with disabilities in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. They move independently, from people with disabilities to people with disabilities.
