The BRT Kota Kinabalu is a bus rapid transit (BRT) project to improve bus services in the city of Kota Kinabalu.[1][2][3][4] An allocation of around MYR1 billion has been provided by the Malaysian government under the 2016 Malaysian Budget to implement the project.[5][6] Currently, the project is under studies between the federal and state governments and it was predicted to be finished in 2020.[7][8] It has also been lauded by the Prasarana Malaysia, the government-owned company specialise in bus and light metro development, the Chief Minister of Sabah, Musa Aman and various other politicians who said they have been waited for almost 10 years.[9][10][11]

As of April 2024, there is still no BRT in sight in the Kota Kinabalu area.
