Parcel locker network: private or government-owned?

Singapore

SINGAPORE'S nationwide parcel locker network is set to be owned and operated by the government entity Pick Network, with 1,000 locker stations expected in HDB estates, transport nodes and community centres by end-2021.

Ahead of this, some questions are worth asking: Should the parcel locker network necessarily be run by a government entity, or would it be better left to private market forces? What would Pick's endgame be?
