The worst of both worlds is where the US has landed. The public private cooperation is government bureaucracy and accountability coupled with a private company that knows there's basically no penalty to overshooting a government contract "What are they going to do, leave the road unfinished?". There are natural monopolies that exist, road building, water, sewer, power. All these things shouldn't be controlled by private entities.
