For most of the day on Mondays to Fridays, trams run at least every ten minutes in both directions. Services run less frequently in the early morning, late evenings, weekends and public holidays.[6]

When it was built, the stop was unique, in that the track bed is composed of duckboard. This is explained by the proximity of one of the sites of the Institut technologique FCBA, a research and development organisation specialising in the forest, cellulose, wood-construction and furniture sectors. Since Les Aubiers opened, several other newer stops on the northern end of line C have adopted the same flooring.
