history
RapidKL, short for Rangkaian Pengangkutan Integrasi Deras Sdn Bhd, is a governmentowned company which was formed in 2004 as part of the restructuring of the public transport
system in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's capital.
RapidKL is also the largest bus operator in the Klang Valley. Currently, there are 98 stage bus routes
and 39 feeder bus services which operate from LRT stations. The bus routes operated by RapidKL were
previously operated byIntrakota Komposit Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of DRB-Hicom Bhd; and Cityliner
Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Park May Bhd. In 2008, RapidKL buses carried around 390,000 passengers
daily.[2]

Improvement steps
Boosting bus fleet: As most of the buses RapidKL inherited were old and poorly maintained, one of its
immediate concerns was to get more buses on the road. In 2005, the government promised RapidKL 200
new buses.
Revamp of RapidKL bus network: RapidKL scrapped the old Intrakota and Cityliner routes it inherited
and introduced three types of bus services: City shuttles (BANDAR), trunk buses (UTAMA),, local
shuttles (TEMPATAN), and express buses (EKSPRES). City shuttles will operate within Kuala

Lumpur's central business district while trunk buses will link hubs at the edge of the CBD with suburban
transportation hubs. At these suburban hubs, local shuttles will radiate out from rail-based public
transport stations and fan out to residential areas. Express buses provide non-stop point-to-point route to
specific destination.
n November 2004, SPNB handed over the operations of the LRT and bus services to RapidKL.
