Rapid Penang (styled as rapidPenang) is a public bus brand operating in the Malaysian state of Penang. Formed as a subsidiary of Prasarana Malaysia in 2007, it serves as the primary public transport operator within Penang. Its routes cover the George Town Conurbation, including to neighbouring towns in the states of Kedah and Perak.
Rapid Penang was the second public transportation firm established by Prasarana Malaysia, a corporate body owned by the Malaysian federal government to manage urban public transportation. The first was Rapid KL in 2004, which now encompasses public bus, LRT and monorail services within Kuala Lumpur and the greater Klang Valley. Thus, similar to Rapid KL, Rapid Penang's bus fleet is under the management of Rapid Bus Sdn Bhd.[3]
