The UK is a good example of the difference between public and private corporations controlling public transport in buses. In London they are publicly controlled and very popular while outside of London they aren't and are terrible. London has service through the night and very high frequency while outside of London buses stop running very early and are very infrequent. They are also significantly more expensive outside of London.

London isn't the only city in the UK. I can't compare prices but buses run all night in Manchester and at high frequency during the day.

  Manchester also has publicly controlled public transport.

    Most of the buses are operated by Stagecoach though.

      But they don't decide the schedule or price or anything like that. The key thing is that the people who decide that aren't motivated only by profit.
