Private companies motives are for profit the public companies motives are to serve.

Private companies motives are for profit, and they get that profit by serving the consumers. There is a guarantee involved with a private business that simply cannot be said of public services. Public services do not get anything in return; they exist only because the government forms them, and the government also controls the laws of the land, which puts them at an unfair level at the very start. If a public service fails for you, what can you do? Not much; the lines for complaining about such things are often long and bureaucratic. If a private service fails for you, you can take immediate action in a court.
