Rather than paying private companies to implement ticketing on public transport, then expecting the public to put more money towards a private company’s profit margin why not just cut out the middle man and make it free?

You answered your own question - the people making the decisions don't give two shits about what is best for you (the public), the environment, or even the efficiency of the public tax pot, all they care about is increasing profits for themselves and their ilk.
