Transilien Line U, also known as "La Défense - La Verrière" or more often simply "ligne U", is a tangential commuter train link, which serves the western Paris region from La Défense. It links the Paris's business district of La Défense to La Verrière station, in the south-west of Ile-de-France. It is one of the two commuter train lines in the Transilien network that does not originate from a large Parisian station, along with the V. The line has 55,000 passengers per weekday in 2014.[1]
