The transportation system includes a guide rail composed of main lines and branch lines, intersecting one another, a coupling section connecting the main and branch lines, and a carrier for carrying cargo, the carrier being capable of running along the guide rail. The carrier is suspended, in a non-contact manner, from the guide rail, by an electromagnetic attractive force. A transfer apparatus is provided at the coupling section. At the coupling section, the carrier, having so far been running along the main lines, is stopped, then rotated, then stopped from rotating when the carrier faces the branch lines and then transferred to the branch lines, all in a non- contact manner. |
