The invention concerns a conveying system driven by a linear motor, in particular a simultaneous stretching system driven by a linear motor, in which the clip carriage return section (10) is divided into at least three regions, that is a first speed-modifying region (17), a subsequent conveying region (19) and then a braking region (21). The combined lengths of the speed-modifying region (17) and the braking region (21) are less than 40 % of the total length of the return section (10). It is only in the speed-modifying region (17) and/or the braking region (21) that more powerful drive units are provided in comparison to the remainder of the return section (10) in order to subject the carriages there to a greater change in speed.
