Persons and/or goods are transported in a plurality of vehicles with running wheels rolling on a track, such as on rails. A continuously moving, endless traction cable drives the vehicles on the track, and a clamping assembly selectively disconnects the vehicles from and connects the vehicles to the traction cable. The vehicles are disconnected from the traction cable in boarding stations, where deceleration wheels and acceleration wheels come into contact with a contact surface on the underside of the vehicles. The deceleration wheels and acceleration wheels rotate about substantially horizontal axes and they decelerate and accelerate the vehicles, respectively, upon being brought into contact with the contact surface. The deceleration and acceleration wheels are rotatably supported on a free end of swivel arms which are pivotally supported about an axis which extends substantially horizontally and substantially parallel to the track. An adjustment spring bears on each of the swivel arms for forcing the deceleration and acceleration wheels against the contact surface on the underside of the vehicle.
