this is a follow on to the discussion regarding the v-fest bus which i didn't want to further mixed in with the v-fest thread...
since there were so many buses last year have you considered having multiple send off points? i.e. a bus from College Park/Beltsville/Greenbelt area, etc because last year it was so much the getting downtown to leave that was problem, it was coming back and passing the Greenbelt Metro parking lot where my car was parked knowing it would take another two hours to get home. how about offering people several choices of pickup and drop off points and organize buses leaving and returning accordingly.
