Transport service development generally indicates some development problems and transport troubles in particular. This research analyses the development of rural transport services in Kemalang Sub-district, Klaten District, Central Java Province using qualitative research method and Case Study research approach. Primary data were collected by in-depth interviewing of 26 respondents, which was supported by secondary data from institutional survey. Transport service development was reviewed in three development stages; those are before 1990, 1990-2005 and 2005-2010. There have been alterations in the dominant transport service used during those three periods, from non-motorized private transport service to motorized public transport services, and then to private transport services of motorcycles. That development has led to positive changes in the character of transport services, such as the increase of transport service availability, flexibility and capability in solving nature’s restrictions, so that they promote mobility and accessibility. One negative change is the decrease of traffic safety.
