In the old days the name SAHIBABAD was coined for Village Sahibabad (now a semi-urban) area which lies tucked adjacent to the Railway Line, Link Road Flyover and Madan Mohan Malviya Marg.

- Railway Station- on GT Road
- Village- on Link Road adjacent to railway line
- Industrial Area- Site-IV (comprising everything that lies opposite Vasundhara, Vaishali and Kaushambi).

- Relatively cheaper residential land rates
- Connectivity with Noida, Delhi and Ghaziabad
- Availability of essential amenities

GDA started approving colonies as plots and selling constructed units at these areas-- Having access to the Ghazipur Road (Ramprastha, Surya Nagar, Brij Vihar, Chander Nagar)

Growth in early 90s
As there were no areas large enough adjacent to the GT Road, the focus of the authorities became centric to areas being beyond Mohan Nagar which remained under developed so far.New areas were renamed/created after acquiring land from rural as well as semi-urban establishments naming them to be Vasundhra, Vaishali, Indirapuram

Bus
Sahibabad does not have a sub-city operated bus service of its own and the private run buses are interconnecting it while going to-and-fro the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Noida routes. Inter State Buses are available either at Mohan Nagar/Sahibabad Bus Depot or at the new area adjacent to Pacific Mall at Site-IV/Kaushambi.Cabs
Apart from a few of the radio cab operators from Delhi, Sahibabad does not have a formal cab system and commuters rely on the Vikrams for their public commute back home. Off late Auto Rickshaws have become more popular and easily available in the suburb. Especially since the Ghaziabad Traffic Police opened a Pre-paid Counter for hiring Auto Rickshaws at Maharajpur Border (the UP side of Anand Vihar ISBT)Rail
The area has only one railway station named Sahibabad RS, carrying Indian Railways station code SBB. Its used mainly by residents along the GT Road as the areas near to NH24 Bypass and the linking road Madan Mohan Malviya Marg are at a reasonably good distance. A large segment uses the EMU rail for daily commuting to Delhi and Meerut.Road
