Is there any sources for the prices of food over time and public transport?

Would like to study inflation data but the government ones are too aggregated. Any other sources of information in Singapore?

You can take a look at the Consumer Price Index (CPI) which measures a weighed basket of goods that a normal resident will consume over a year and how the price changes over time.

I think an index for just 'food' or 'public transport' is harder to find. 'food' is very subjective (raw/cooked?, local/other culture cuisine?, hawker centre/restaurant?) so I dont think there will be such data. As for 'public transport', you'll also need to account for different age groups/distance/time/mode of transport/transit, I think there's data out there, just need to consolidate.
