dc.description.abstractAs the world population continues to grow, increasing congestion on road and rail transport systems in urban areas demands to explore alternative modes of transportation. Inland water transport (IWT) is one such mode with potential to alleviate congestion and provide additional mobility options for urban residents, but its citizen acceptability has been a major challenge. This research paper examines the potential of IWT as a viable passenger and freight transportation option in the city of Varanasi, India. Through mixed methods approach, it correlates various impact factors such as transit nodes, land use, tourism, environmental factors, and citizen acceptability in terms of accessibility and affordability. This research highlights the importance of addressing urban infrastructural challenges, when planning for IWT, and provides insights for urban planners and policymakers to explore River Ganges as a transportation corridor. Keywords:Water Transport, accessibility, affordability, linkages
