The proposed BRT Federal Line for KL–Klang Corridors has been identified in KL BRT Report 2011 as one of the potential BRT Corridors and this BRT project is planned to be operational by 2018.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Designed to compliment existing bus and rail transport networks, the BRT Federal line will employ all-electric buses similar to BRT Sunway Line, however at ground level.

Background

According to a World Bank Report, the Klang-Shah Alam-Petaling Jaya corridor has nearly a million private vehicles travelling on the Federal Highway daily during morning peak hours.[1] Transport Minister, Liow Tiong Lai has proposed the BRT KL-Klang line to ease the congestion.[7] Unlike the BRT Sunway Line, the BRT KL-Klang will be at ground level.[7]

Prime Minister, Najib Razak has allocated RM 1.5 billion for the project during the 2016 Budget presentation.[8]

The BRT line is planned to be built in the middle of Federal Highway and the construction is expected to start in the third quarter of 2016.[1] Upon completion, about 80% of the BRT line will offer some form of connection with the LRT as well as KTM Komuter and will cut down travel times between Kuala Lumpur and Klang to 40 minutes from current 70 minutes.[9] This project will start from Q3-2016.
