contents Muonium-to-Antimuonium Conversion Experiment (MACE) aims to find the charged lepton flavor violation (cLFV) process. A key component of MACE is the positron transport system (PTS) to collect and transport atomic positrons from antimuonium decays, which consists of an electrostatic accelerator and a solenoid beamline. Through field simulations in \textsc{COMSOL} and particle transport simulations based on \textsc{Geant4}, the PTS can achieve a geometric acceptance of the signal at 65.81(4)\% along with a position resolution of 88(1)~$μ$m~$\times$~102(1)~$μ$m. The system achieves 322.4(1)~ns transit time with a spread of 6.9(1)~ns, which allows for a TOF-based rejection of internal conversion backgrounds by a factor of $10^{-7}$. These promising results pave the way for new-physics signal identifications and background rejections in MACE and offer a novel paradigm for internal transport system in high-intensity frontiers.
