A conveying system (10) for transporting articles, in particular goods, along a predetermined path, comprises a running rail (11) and at least one carriage (12), which runs on this running rail (11) and is freely movable along the running rail (11), and also a driven engaging device (13), which extends at least over a portion of the running rail (11) comprises a plurality of engaging elements (23), which are movable along the running rail (11) and, to control the movement of the at least one carriage (12), can be brought into engagement with the carriage (12). Reliable, quiet operation is achieved by the engaging elements (23) being movable back and forth between two stable positions, wherein, in the first stable position, the engaging elements (23) can be moved in relation to the at least one carriage (12) past the carriage (12) without coming into engagement with the carriage (12) (non-engaging position), and wherein, in the second stable position, the engaging elements (23) inevitably come into engagement with the at least one carriage (12) during a movement in relation to the at least one carriage (12) past the carriage (12) (engaging position).
