The State government appointed Capita Symonds, a UK-based consultancy firm, to suggest the best feeder rail network for Bengaluru. Capita Symonds stated that [[Light rail|Light Rail Transit (LRT)]] was more advantageous than monorail.<br />
<br />
The Bangalore Airport Rail Link (BARL) Ltd is the nodal agency for implementing the project.<ref name="lightrailbetter"/><br />
