Rapid KL (promoted as rapidKL) is a public transportation system owned by Prasarana Malaysia and operated by its subsidiaries Rapid Rail and Rapid Bus. The acronym stands for Rangkaian Pengangkutan Integrasi Deras Kuala Lumpur, which translates to Kuala Lumpur Rapid Integrated Transport Network in the Malay language. Rapid KL, with its 204.1 km (126.8 mi) of metro railway and 5.6 km (3.5 mi) of BRT carriageway, is part of the Klang Valley Integrated Transit System, operating throughout Kuala Lumpur and Selangor's satellite cities in the Klang Valley area.^[3]

The rail transit line was opened in 1996. It was followed by a federal government restructuring of public transport systems in Kuala Lumpur in the early 2000s after the bankruptcy of STAR and PUTRA Light Rapid Transit operators, the precursors to the Ampang/Sri Petaling Lines and Kelana Jaya Line respectively, and the creation of the Rapid KL brand^[4] In 2003, it had inherited bus services and assets formerly operated and owned by Intrakota and Cityliner after being bailed out. Four years later, the Malaysian Government bailed out KL Infrastructure Group, the owner and operation concession holder of the KL Monorail, and placed it under ownership of Prasarana Malaysia. Since then, the Rapid KL system has expanded to include two MRT lines and a BRT line.
