Claims

1. Locking system for locking one or more swing doors (3) of a bus when parked, comprising a respective locking mechanism (1) above a door frame of a respective swing door (3) or a pair of swing doors (3) of the bus, wherein the respective locking mechanism (1) is designed to engage in a locking manner in the travel path formed by a rail of a door roller (5) of a swing door (3) or in the door roller (5) itself, and wherein the respective locking mechanism (1) can be activated electrically by means of an actuating means (7) located outside the interior of the bus.

2. Locking system according to claim 1, wherein the actuating means (7) is a key or a card reader, wherein in the case of the key the key is designed to cooperate with a lock of the bus, and in the case of a card reader the card reader is designed to cooperate with a transponder of the bus in order to transmit an electrical control signal to the respective locking mechanism (1) for locking.

3. Locking system according to one of the preceding claims, wherein a respective locking mechanism (1) has at least one locking pin which can be brought into engagement with the rail, in particular by lowering the locking pin into the rail.

4. Locking system according to claim 3, wherein the at least one locking bolt is fastened to a holder (9) which is mounted so as to be movable along a guide.

5. Locking system according to one of claims 3 to 4, wherein the locking mechanism (1) has a drive (11) for vertically displacing the locking bolt.

6. Locking system according to one of claims 3 to 5, further comprising an auxiliary locking device which, together with the locking mechanism (1), releasably holds the locking bolt in its locking position.

7. Locking system according to claim 6, wherein the auxiliary locking device is formed by a rotationally fixed magnetic lock (15) and a locking eyelet which is fastened to the holder (9) of the locking bolt.

8. Locking system according to one of the preceding claims, comprising an emergency opening device which is designed to be operated from the interior of the bus in order to be able to manually unlock the locking mechanism (1).

9. Locking system according to claim 8, wherein the emergency opening device comprises at least a first Bowden cable (17) attached to the magnetic lock (15) and a manually operable opening element connected to the first Bowden cable (17), the first Bowden cable (17) leading into the interior of the bus.

10. Locking system according to one of claims 8 to 9, wherein the emergency opening device has at least a second Bowden cable (19) which is connected to the magnetic lock (15) and to a manually operable opening element, wherein the second Bowden cable (19) leads to the exterior of the bus.
