Who runs public transport?

In the UK, public transport, like the train services mentioned in the story, is a mix of private companies and government oversight. Transport for Wales, for example, is a not-for-profit company owned by the Welsh Government. They manage services and infrastructure, often adding extra services for major events to cope with demand.
