Maybe I'm misunderstanding but I don't believe public services should need to break even. They cost money because they're a service
I think it is nice when they do break even. It does cost money and effort to run them. I agree it is not essential that they do but it is nice. Cities have budget crisis if their system is running at cost or near it the chances of it losing funding is lower.
