A transport system, in particular a multi-carrier system, includes a plurality of linear motors, which are arranged in a row and form a guide track, and at least one transport element that can be moved along the guide track with the linear motors. The linear motors each have at least a first connection region, which faces and is associated with a linear motor disposed upstream along the guide track, and a second connection region, which faces and is associated with a linear motor disposed downstream along the guide track, wherein a respective plug connector mechanically connects the first connection region of a linear motor disposed downstream along the guide track and the second connection region of a linear motor disposed upstream along the guide track to one another and establishes a power connection and/or a signal connection between the neighboring linear motors.
