THE QUESTION

Tristan is on the way to Singapore for a photography competition. He wants to catch a grab to the airport at 8am from his house.

Show a list of available drivers and the time it will take for them to take Tristan to the airport in minutes.

Create a userinput function that allows the user to choose which driver they want and then output the time Tristan reaches the airport. After that, also print a statement showing the driver is on the way.

(Hint: the list should display the travel time in minutes. If he is to be picked up at 8am, then the time he reaches would have to be 8am + the travel time)
