services of public interest
You could reduce your own suggestion to "services of public interest", or even "public interest services".
The Passenger Transport Act distinguishes between self-financing (eigenwirtschaftlich) and public interest (gemeinwirtschaftlich) transport services under Para. 13 and Para 13a Passenger Transport Act. In principle, the Passenger Transport Act lays down that public transport is to be self-financing (Para. 8 (4) Passenger Transport Act). Only if self-financing services cannot provide an “adequate service” are public transport services to be supplied on a public interest or gemeinwirtschaftlich basis.

Such public-private partnerships are intended to ensure a more economic application of public funds in that, although the concessionaires will receive public subsidies for activities in the public interest, they will otherwise operate completely as profit-oriented private enterprises.
