Wouldn't commercial providers still be private transportation? Public in public transportation is public ownership.

  Public transportation is public in the same sense as a pub. The service is available to anyone willing to pay, without any membership or other special requirements. Some systems are fully government-run, some have a public authority and private operators, and some are for-profit companies that make their money in real estate.

    That's just a transit company then. It might not be said that way colloquially, but it's very much where the public comes from. Uber isn't public transit, it's just transit. Neither is bright line or Waymo or Uber.
