We're ocassionally using "operator" around here to mark who is comissioned with the maintenance of parts of roads, it is different from ownership I agree (generally it depends on the country how and on whom public property is registered, and which kind of property is registered how (buildings vs. roads, local vs. national etc.), and this may also change from time to time based on political decisions and changes in the structure of the administration).
