Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (abbreviated as MRT Corp or MRTC) is a Malaysian state-owned company and a corporate body established under the Ministry of Finance (Incorporation) Act 1957. MRT Corp is fully owned by the Minister of Finance (Incorporated).

It was set up to be the developer and asset owner of the Mass Rapid Transit project in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, under the government's move to restructure the city's public transport system.

The company was established in September 2011 and took over the ownership of the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit Project (KVMRT) in October 2011 from Prasarana Malaysia Berhad.

MRT Corp’s responsibilities include monitoring and tracking of construction of all elevated structures, stations and depots of the mass rapid transit project. It also monitors the underground works which involves tunneling and construction of underground stations. It is also responsible for the contracts which they are involved in.

Service brands

[edit]

The word "MRT" as a service brand will be carried on all MRT Corp's owned assets, consisting of trains, stations, buses, depots and buildings.[2]

  • Trains on the MRT Kajang Line and MRT Putrajaya line are operated by Prasarana Malaysia Berhad subsidiary, Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd
  • The MRT feeder buses operated by Prasarana Malaysia Berhad subsidiary, Rapid Bus Sdn Bhd on 300 units of Single Deck 10 Metre Completely-Knocked-Down (CKD) Diesel City Feeder Buses, of which 150 units are Scania buses while the remaining are Volvo buses. There are 5 MRT feeder bus depots: Jalan Sungai Sekamat Kajang (MRT Kajang Line feeder bus depot for Cheras, Kajang and Ampang areas) Seksyen U4 Shah Alam (MRT Kajang and Putrajaya line feeder bus depot for Damansara and Kepong areas), Desa Tun Razak Industrial Area (currently not in use), Jinjang (currently not in use) and Serdang (MRT Putrajaya Line feeder bus depot for Serdang and Putrajaya areas).
