We all have to go to school.
No not everyone has the same choices from that point on because we all have different skills and qualifications, but I've not met anyone who didn't have any choice at all (with the possible extreme exception of those with severely constraining health issues).
I'm thinking of thousands of people (in my sisters, borthers, nieces, nephews school years) and with the exception of those with very severe health issues (like paralysis), I can not think of a single person who has been forced into single place to live or a single career choice.

Which is probably why your usual advice to 17 year olds who have just managed to find a job, but now can't afford to get to it, is always to move, and then to find a different job on a bus route.

Absolutely.
Would you expect anyone to do a job they couldn't afford to get to?
How is that sustainable? What happens when they run out of money?

If people can't afford private transport then they have a few options, but the most obvious one is living somewhere near public transport - that doesn't mean London or a city. My town of 44K population has decent buses and inexpensive houses along the bus routes or withing walking distance of the train station.

I've planned where I live carefully and I have 7 options for transport to get to work.
Other colleagues have gone to live in the stix for the benefits they perceive, but accept they are tied to private transport and long journeys and accept that have to face those costs and don't whinge about it.
That's the nature of choice.

What would you suggest to someone for whom private trasnport is now 100% unaffordable? Benefits as a lifestyle? Criminality? Prison?
Perhaps dale farm? or a tent outside st Pauls?

Only in your world can you imagine a 17 year old just can decide to buy his own house, then walk into another job!
Benefits as a lifestyle appear to a choice you're happy to encourage in others.
