1. A transport system comprising:
a carriage;
a first transport module on which the carriage moves in a first direction;
a second transport module on which the carriage moves in a second direction intersecting with the first direction, the second transport module being movable in the second direction;
a sensor that detects a position of the second transport module and outputs position information of the second transport module; and
a control unit that controls a position of the second transport module,
wherein the control unit causes, before the second transport module arrives at a transfer position where the carriage transfers from the first transport module to the second transport module, the carriage on the first transport module to move toward the transfer position, and
causes, after the second transport module arrives at the transfer position, the carriage to move from the first transport module to the second transport module.
