I'm thinking I don't know what you mean. In many places your water, power, even sewer service is a regulated private utility. Your internet and TV service is almost everywhere. I don't see what would be so wrong having transit be that and it could come to pass in some locations. It's one way to get projects built that there is not public funding to do it. In fact, it appears as if Trump's upcoming "infrastructure" proposal may be for about $200 billion of public funding and a hope for $800 billion of private funding. If some of either goes for mass transit, I wouldn't mind at all, especially if somebody wants to dig that darned rail tunnel into the TransBay Terminal.
