Cost of food & transportation

[Emma]

What's a likely cost for food expenses for a person who's cooking for themselves in the school housing (not going out to eat often)?  And what's the main form of transportation around the city, and how expensive is it?  (In other words, how much will it cost to buy my weekly groceries and transport them home?) 
Thanks!

It is easy to buy fresh vegetables near the school. There are a couple of supermarkets nearby. Most people get around in vans. They aren't too expensive and leave near the school.
