HandyDart users can add a bit more spontaneity to their trip planning starting Monday.

As of May 1, the deadline to book a trip for the next day will be extending from noon to 4 p.m.

TransLink CEO Kevin Desmond said this is the first issue the company鈥檚 tackling from a list of recommendations found through a year-long review on transit service delivery.

Desmond said extending the booking deadline comes at no extra cost to customers or the company, but will hopefully make a difference for its riders.

鈥淚t gives people a little more room to plan their next day,鈥� he said.

TransLink hopes to take the booking process one step further and become available online by the end of the year to early 2018. Other recommendations proving to need a bit more planning includes reducing wait times for riders and committing to a standard travel time.

鈥淭hat鈥檚 an example of something we still need to do,鈥� Desmond said. 鈥淲e aspire to doing it.鈥�
