Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd (styled as ''rapidrail'') was established to place all three rail operators for the Ampang Line & Sri Petaling Line, Kelana Jaya Line and KL Monorail Line – under one administrating umbrella in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Profile - SYARIKAT PRASARANA NEGARA BERHAD )〕 The Rapid Rail network contains two light metro lines comprising the Ampang and Kelana Jaya Lines,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LRT )〕 with the KL Monorail line being the other major component of the network. These rapid transit systems were run under the brand name of "Rapid KL". Along with the KTM Komuter lines, owned and operated by Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad, and the Express Rail Link airport lines, this system constitutes the entire public rail network of Kuala Lumpur.

Bhd. for the Ampang Line starting in 1995, and Projek Usahasama Transit Ringan Automatik for the Kelana Jaya Line starting in 1998. In 2004, operational aspects of the two LRT lines were transferred to Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd under the second phase of the restructuring process of Kuala Lumpur's public transportation network. The KL Monorail was initially owned and operated by KL Infrastructure Group, from 2003 until 2007, until the company declared bankruptcy. As a result, Prasarana purchased the monorail and gave operating rights to their subsidiary Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd. ==Fares and ticketing== Rapid Rail implements an automatic fare collection system with stored value tickets and single journey tickets issued in the form of magnetic stripe cards at every station.
