When Ms Heather Hansen got into the car for her Grab ride just after noon on May 26, she expected a typical journey home. Instead, the American expatriate was greeted by a car interior transformed into a mini haven complete with snacks, bottled water, charging cables and even potted plants.

"I was really hungry and going home for lunch," the communication skills corporate trainer in her 40s and mother of two told The Straits Times.

"I thought I could find something that could tide me over because he had many treats."

Neatly arranged shelves behind the front seats were filled with snacks one side for adults, the other for children. She picked a semi-dried fruit from the adult section and a strawberry chewy candy from the children's side.

Her 15-minute ride, following a half-day training session at work, quickly became one she would not forget thanks to her driver, Mr Pang Tze Wei.
