The network publishes the vehicle’s GPS position. Its trail grows with each reading.

A few questions before you go?
What is Aule?+
Aule brings together passenger information and tools for transport teams. For riders: a map, journeys and vehicle tracking. For professionals: Aule Pro, starting with signing on for service.
Which cities can I use Aule in?+
Nantes and the Naolib network are the pilot, along with Loire-Atlantique’s Aléop coaches. Other networks will follow gradually.
Is all the information live?+
No, and Aule says so. A bus is “Live” when the network publishes its GPS position, “Estimated” when Aule works it out from the timetable and announced delays, and “Scheduled” otherwise. The city and vehicles on this page are illustrations.
Let’s talk about your journey, or your network.
