My local town provides unusually good garbage collection service. An attempt by the borough council to save money by hiring private contractors for garbage collection was met by many, many outraged people showing up to the council meeting to protest.
Efficient implies cost-effective: government run garbage collection might be a reasonably high quality service but come at an unreasonably high price. It sounds like cost concerns were the motivation for the change in your example.

The protesters made it very clear that they preferred to pay more for the higher level of service.
But since this is a government run monopoly they don’t have that choice as individuals so instead they have to take political action.
