This is a bad trend. Mexico hasn’t gone very far down this road yet, but the municipal services are always lethargic. Wait times are long, trips can take hours, and coaches are uncomfortable. Private service zips along with one tram always waiting behind the one that just passed.
Of course, BRT, underground rail, light rail, and the like require central management. That is unfortunate for rpaid transit because quality, competent, and honest public management is rare in Latin America (though not as rare as it seems in the USA).
