There is provided a transport system comprising: a stator having a first magnetic force unit; a mover having a second magnetic force unit; and a control unit. The control unit controls a magnetic force acting between the first magnetic force unit and the second magnetic force unit to transport the mover in a first direction. The stator has a first regulating member row including a plurality of first regulating members and a second regulating member row including a plurality of second regulating members, the mover, in a second direction intersecting the first direction, being disposed between the first regulating member row and the second regulating member row. The control unit performs a first process of applying a rotational force to the mover such that one of the first regulating members in the first regulating member row serves as a fulcrum when the mover contacts the first regulating member row.
