Allowing two students to swap would create incentives that will undermine the fairness of the system, thereby creating unfair situations a few years down the road. Highly educated parents and rich parents are more likely to complain, and by

They can also be used by taxis and other utility vehicles (e.g. the police) like here in Germany, but yes - it's a bit wasteful. This is why they only build them where there's space.
