Good luck, this bus was less than half full all the way. Two hours after I arrived in DC, there was a bus leaving for Richmond, which took me there. Took 4hrs longer than the original schedule but I won't complain.
Your experience sounds typical from what I have heard from others. Things just sort of happen, there is no guarantees.
