A transportation system for objects, wherein a train formed by a plurality of carriages moves along a rail and transports objects, for example parcels. The train comprises first carriages, each of which is provided with a pair of first motor-driven rectilinear belts, arranged with their longer edges mutually parallel and perpendicular to the direction of feed of the train. The first carriages alternate with second carriages, each of which is provided with just one second motor-driven rectilinear belt arranged with its own longer edges perpendicular to the direction of feed of the train. The distance between an edge of a first belt of the first carriage and a facing edge of the second belt of the second carriage is greater than the distance between facing edges of the belts of the first carriage.
