An article transport facility includes a plurality of transport vehicles. In a combined state in which the plurality of transport vehicles are combined so as to be adjacent to each other, the plurality of transport vehicles constitute a transport route in which a plurality of transfer sections cooperate to transport articles. The combined transport vehicle group enters a connected state in which articles are deliverable to and from a connection target location, due to at least one transport vehicle of the combined transport vehicle group being disposed at an adjacent position adjacent to the connection target location. A control system is configured to move the combined transport vehicle group between an adjacent position adjacent to a first connection target location and an adjacent position adjacent to a second connection target location while maintaining the plurality of transport vehicles in the combined state.
