THIS year marks the 10th anniversary of RapidKL Sdn Bhd, a division of Prasarana Malaysia Bhd and it is an apt moment to relook its achievements and plot its way forward.

In this regard, RapidKL had undertaken to publish a limited-edition coffee table book that looks at the three core lines (excluding KTM Komuter) that form the backbone of the Klang Valley’s passenger rail transport –known respectively now as the Ampang line, Kelana Jaya line, and the monorail.
