The invention relates to an improved transport system, in particular for a stretching system, characterized amongst other things, by the following characteristics: a support rail and/or a guide rail, over which a conveyor chain with clip chain units can be displaced, are provided, said units subdividing into a clip part and a chain part, said support rail or the guide rail or the support rail and the guide rail is/are provided with a channel which transverses in the longitudinal direction at least in one of the partial lengths of the support rail and the guide rail. The support rail running surface comprises a plurality of outlet openings through which the compressed air can be guided on the channel for generating an airbag between the support rail running surface and an air bearing cushion plate on the clip-chain unit and/or the running rail running surfaces comprise a plurality of outlet openings through which the compressed air can be guided on the channel by generating an air bag between the respective guide rail running surfaces and a bearing device on the clip chain unit.
