NH-24 Widening & E-Bus Links Set to Transform Wave City Commutes

For years, the single biggest complaint from homeowners in Wave City has been the daily grind on NH-24. That is now changing on two fronts at once — a physical highway upgrade and a fresh public transport link — and together they are reshaping how residents of this 4,200-acre township think about their commute to Delhi and Noida.

Wave City sits directly on NH-24, also known as NH-9, the corridor that runs alongside the Delhi–Meerut Expressway. Wave City fronts NH-24, which runs alongside the Delhi–Meerut Expressway, with the Eastern Peripheral Expressway interchange at nearby Dasna. This gives the township a direct road link toward Anand Vihar in Delhi on one side and Moradabad on the other. NH 9 connects Delhi to Moradabad and passes directly alongside Wave City, giving residents direct road access to Anand Vihar in Delhi at one end and to Moradabad at the other.

The pain point has been peak-hour congestion right at the township's own doorstep. The NH-24 stretch near Wave City's main entry gate can see 20–30 minute delays during peak hours (8–10 AM and 6–8 PM), and the ongoing NH-24 widening and expressway upgrades are expected to ease this over the next 2–3 years. Residents commuting to Delhi's Connaught Place or Noida's Sector 62 currently report 60–90 minute door-to-door commutes, a number that road-widening and better last-mile transit are together designed to bring down.

The second, more immediate change is on the public transport side. The Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) has launched an e-bus service from Hindon Civil Terminal to improve last-mile connectivity, operating on two routes — Dilshad Garden and Madhuban Bapudham township via Wave City — with buses running every 30 minutes. The Hindon Civil Terminal itself is only a short distance from the township — the Hindon Civil Terminal is about 8 km away — which makes the new e-bus route a genuinely useful first-and-last-mile option for residents without a personal vehicle. This e-bus service running through Wave City to Dilshad Garden Metro Station in Delhi, with buses every 30 minutes, directly improves the daily commute options for residents who depend on public transport.

Inside the township, connectivity has already been engineered to reduce dependence on private cars for short trips. A GPS-tracked internal bus service connects all Phase 1 sectors to the main gate every 15–30 minutes, with the route visible on Wave City's resident app. For the final stretch to the metro network, Wave City's internal GPS-tracked bus service connects sectors to the main NH-24 Delhi Gate only, from where residents take shared autos or private vehicles to Shaheed Sthal metro. The nearest Delhi Metro station remains Shaheed Sthal (New Bus Adda) on the Red Line, approximately 8–10 km from the Wave City main gate, taking 15–20 minutes by auto or cab.

Looking further ahead, the regional rail story is also moving. The full Delhi–Meerut Namo Bharat corridor, spanning roughly 82 km across 16 stations, has been operational since early 2026. A station at Dasna, close to Wave City, has long been discussed, but buyers should treat it as a future upside rather than a current amenity. The Delhi–Meerut RRTS corridor passes very close to Wave City on NH-24, and a Dasna RRTS station is proposed which, if built, would be within 2–4 km of the township. As of the most recent update, the priority section is operational between Sahibabad and Duhai, with the Dasna station in a later phase.

Why does this matter for homebuyers? Connectivity upgrades on NH-24 have historically moved prices along this corridor, and the current cycle appears no different. Ghaziabad's broader market is riding this momentum, with strong infrastructure, prime transport corridors, and rising demand from NCR commuters, with areas like Indirapuram, Siddharth Vihar, and Raj Nagar Extension identified as hotspots. This is precisely the NH-24 belt where Prestige Group has planted its own flag with a large-format township in Indirapuram Extension near Siddharth Vihar, underscoring how seriously developers are backing the corridor's medium-term commute improvements.

For a buyer evaluating Wave City or the wider NH-24 belt today, the practical takeaway is this: near-term peak-hour delays are real and should be budgeted into daily planning, but the direction of travel — literally — is toward shorter, more predictable commutes as road widening, e-bus frequency, and eventually rapid rail all mature over the next few years.
