Grab reports a 68% year-on-year surge in drivers and riders using the platform for supplementary income during the first half of 2026, driven by the "side hustle" trend. Most users are Gen Z (42%) and Millennials (44%), primarily active 18:00–22:00 on weekdays. Grab is scaling its "Part-time for Thai" program—targeting government employees, military, police, students, and vocational trainees—offering Fast Track onboarding, equipment, and special incentives to expand gig income opportunities across demographics.
