When somebody says one of the first it implies by time (and US was 30 years later. ) Thus why that link I posted rates them by creation date. If you had claimed by best subway by milage I would link to which one ranks them by order of mileage. If I feel like losing. LOL It isn't a zero sum game we are playing, Just facts I linked. Sorry you feel so offended. Hope you have a good new year.

Most people wouldn't respond to the question, "who was here first?" with "how much time has passed since you got here?". Right?

Yeah, by saying first it would mislead people into thinking USA were pioneers, but they were actually fifth because it took USA longer to institute. Not judging, just saying...and it makes sense because UK has been a country with cities for thousands of years, while USA is relatively new...with a slower need to get people moved

I understand what you're saying, and I don't agree. We'll just leave it there 😎
