Boarding at some outstations would definitely win the chaos prize - even though there are zone lines, staff and announcements.
The chaos is an AC creation when it does not in many case have separate queue for zone 1 and zone 2. The sign often says zone 1
and zone 2 queue here.
At many out stations, gate agents insist to board wheelchairs, elderly, those with "small" children and other "special needs" BEFORE zone 1 and zone 2. This category is supposed to board after zone 2 and before zone 3. SRQ is one of them.
