Public demonstrations in Nantes have caused recurring disruptions to the Naolib transit network.

In late September, public service workers scheduled a demonstration in the city center, leading the Naolib network to announce service adjustments. These included partial closures of tramway lines 1 and 3, early termination of line 2, and various diversions or closures for several bus lines.

By early October, student protests demanding increased resources led to further significant transportation changes. The Semitan operator implemented suspensions on tramway lines 1 and 3, altered line 2, and cut services on the Line 4 Busway. Multiple bus lines also faced diversions or temporary termini, and the Commerce mobility space was closed.
