Are you seriously arguing that infrastructure shouldn't be privatised while usage of said infrastructure could very well be?
Butterfly meme: is this socialism?
Yes.
As an example, let me introduce you to the concept of: roadways.
And even then, I don't know if a public service like public transportation should even be entirely private.
The EU says it must become that. That's why in most countries at least the infrastructure building and maintenance got separated from the company running the trains, as a first step towards privatisation. Look at Britain for how more privatisation will not offer better service for better prices.
