The transport system has a guide device with one or more diverters and one or more runners that travel along the guide device. An electric linear drive of the transport system has a primary part formed with winding cores and a secondary part formed by the runner. In the region of the diverter, at least one of the cores has a lower height than the cores outside the region of the diverter.
