Public transport

Bandar Sunway is home to Malaysia's first (and to date, only) bus rapid transit line, the BRT Sunway Line. It connects the Setia Jaya station (Sunway-Setia Jaya) in the north until the USJ7 station in the south, passing through Sunway Mentari, Sunway Pyramid and Monash University in the process. A monorail service named Sunway Monorail (alternatively known as Suntrek 2000) operated in Bandar Sunway from 2000 to 2007 and was the second monorail system to operate in Malaysia following the Genting Monorail and the first public monorail in the country, opening in 2000 and predating the launch of the Kuala Lumpur Monorail by three years. There were two monorails primarily ran along a 3 km steel-tracked loop system surrounding the Sunway Lagoon water theme park, stopping at three key locations on the northern and western side of the loop: Sunway Pyramid East station, Sunway Pyramid West station (now Johnny Rockets hamburger restaurant) and Sunway College station, with a branch line extends 600m west towards the monorail system's depot from the loop. The monorail system operated with two five-car SL5 trains in its rolling stock; the trains produced by Severn-Lamb, a British locomotive manufacturer. The total cost of the loop was an estimated US$10 million. The system has since been shut down due to the expansion of the Sunway Pyramid 2, and part of its infrastructure were later incorporated into the BRT line. Alternately, there are rapidKL bus services connecting Sunway Pyramid to Subang Jaya station, some 15–20 minutes away.
