I would not expect the landuse value of the municipal bus company's HQ to change if the bus company was privatised... Only the ownership will have changed, nothing else. Actually, as the buildings are probably leased from a property company anyway, even that would stay the same. Just the shareholders of the company would different.
So I would suggest "civic" or "government" or whatever should only be applied where the activities taking place there are actually "civic administration" - council meetings, committees, births/deaths/marriages, highways,..... i.e. the core business of a local authority as defined in law. Sidelines like running transport companies or sports grounds are not "landuse=civic" to my mind. C.
