Social movements have taken on a new configuration since 2011, with the great protests that have occurred in several countries, including Brazil, giving visibility to the popular dissatisfaction with the demands not met by the public power, the reflexes of globalization, the current face of the Neoliberalism and integral capitalism. With this, social movements began to exercise in society the counter power, using as a tool, above all, the social networks of the Internet to denounce cases of social exclusion, to schedule protests and to transmit in real time what happens in the demonstrations. Social networks favor the practices of cyber-activism, in the deliberations and coordination of these collective actions, with the predominance of autonomous communication, considered as one of the main characteristics of social movements in contemporary times. Autonomous communication has become a way of evading the control of the state and the hegemonic power of communication companies, which, in short, still control and hold a monopoly on making the facts public. A monopoly that has been facing the confrontation of social movements. One such move is the Transport Struggle Front, in Goiânia, created in 2013, which drove a crowd into the streets to protest on several occasions, from that year on, against tariff increases and to demand improvements in the quality of public transportation. The strong repression of the State and the police has smashed the Frente de Luta, acting with violence against the activists during the demonstrations and making arbitrary arrests with the clear intention of dismantling the group and criminalizing the movement. Activists, mostly high school students and university students, have political training and class consciousness that guide the actions and strategies of struggle. They consider public transport as a way to guarantee the mobility of thousands of people, especially workers, to take ownership of the city, social, educational and cultural devices of common and collective use. Appropriation that can lead to the achievement of other freedoms and experiences. The research had as objective to know the motivations that led the students to articulate the struggle for the improvement of collective transportation in Goiânia, to seek the freezing of the price of the tariff or even its franking, besides investigating how they communicate to organize the demonstrations, with the Use of social networks. As methodological tools, the semi-structured interview, the participant observation and the documentary analysis were used.
