The BRT Sunway Line is a bus rapid transit (BRT) line that is part of the Klang Valley Integrated Transit System servicing the southeastern suburbs of Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. This line is operated by Rapid Bus and was introduced in 2015 to service the high-density areas of Sunway and Subang Jaya, replacing an earlier proposal plan for the now defunct Sunway Monorail extension.
The BRT buses have an exclusive right-of-way on an elevated guideway that is not shared with normal road traffic. This specially-dedicated and grade separated guideway for BRT Sunway Line buses is almost similar to rapid transit elevated railways. However, bus operators other than Rapid Bus, do not have the rights to use it and there is no ramp available from at-grade roads to the elevated guideway.
This closed system is dedicated for a high volume of commuters to avoid congestion. However, this system can only be used along the 5.4 km track between Setia Jaya and USJ7 terminals that allow for passengers' interchange to rail transit.
The BRT system has received Bronze rating by BRT Standard score from Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP).
