Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) – Sunway Line Project

On 1st June 2015, Real Data Matrix (RDM) is proud to be invited as Project Team members for the official launching of the country’s first elevated Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) - Sunway Line by the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in Sunway, a historical event for the nation.

The BRT – Sunway Line project costs RM634 million, utilizes an eco-friendly transportation system of 15 electrical buses to serve 500,000 users in Bandar Sunway and Subang Jaya, across a 5.4km dedicated lanes line. There are seven stations linking Setia Jaya KTM and future Kelana Jaya LRT extension line in USJ6, and one park-and-ride facility at Sunway University Monash station. The dedicated elevated bus lane is said to be the first elevated BRT in Southeast Asia.

 The BRT stations are built with a modern and contemporary design, which include universal access facilities the disabled community such as tactile for the blind, ramps as well as low ticket counters. Key features at the stations consist of Closed-Circuit TV (CCTV) cameras, Public Information System (PIS) and Public Announcement (PA) System, as well as pedestrian bridges so that commuters can cross from one platform to another with ease. The electric Buses are equipped with Wi-Fi for the convenience of commuters.
The construction of the BRT – Sunway Line project comprises of three work packages - Facility Works (FW), System Works (SW) and electric Bus (e-Bus), in which RDM as part of the TechLab Natto (TN) consortium, provides the overall Project Management Office (PMO) to oversee and ensure a successful delivery of the System Works (SW) package for PRASARANA. The SW package comprises of 8 main system components, in which RDM has worked closely with the Project Team and PRASARANA to complete the overall System Integration exercise with FW, e-Bus, Card Access System (CAS) and Automated Fare Collection (AFC), involving close to 200 personnel. With close collaboration and team work between all parties involved, the BRT project has been completed three weeks ahead of schedule.
