The Kelana Jaya Line is a rapid transit system, which is one of the three rail transit lines in the Kuala Lumpur Rail Transit System operated by RapidKL Rail network. The other rail transit is the Ampang Line & Monorail Line.
The Kelana Jaya Line was formerly known as PUTRA LRT ("PUTRA" stands for Projek Usahasama Transit Ringan Automatik Sdn Bhd, the company which developed and operated it). Following a restructuring of ownership and management, the line is currently owned by Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad (SPNB is used by Syarikat Perumahan Negara Berhad) and operated by Rapid KL.
On 28 November 2011, the Kelana Jaya Line and the Ampang Line were integrated with a single ticketing system, allowing commuters to transfer from one line to another at Masjid Jamek station without the need to buy a new ticket for the first time since the line became fully operational in 1999.

Famous quotes containing the word line:
“For as the interposition of a rivulet, however small, will occasion the line of the phalanx to fluctuate, so any trifling disagreement will be the cause of seditions; but they will not so soon flow from anything else as from the disagreement between virtue and vice, and next to that between poverty and riches.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
