Agile largely came about because we thought about where we wanted the product to go, and the steps to get there, and started building, and then it turned out that the way we thought we wanted to go was wrong, and all of that planning we did was completely wasted.
If you work in an environment where you definitely do know where you want the product to go, and the customer doesn't change their mind once they've seen the first working bits, then great. But I've never worked in that kind of environment.
It helps to at least write down requirements. And not requirements in that "it must use Reddis", but customer, user, performance, cost, etc requirements.
A one page requirements document is like pulling teeth apparently.
Oh yes, you want a vague idea of where you're going, and concrete plans for the next step. If you can't even get one-page requirements then something has gone very badly wrong.
Apart from the HTML5 export mentioned by another commenter, there exists Ruffle[1], a Rust + WASM reimplementation of Flash that can play swf files. It's used a lot on archive.org or on some websites like https://homestarrunner.com.
They may but note that this isn't an official Newgrounds project - this is just a user ("Bill") posting on his own Newgrounds blog that he has made this (its not Newgrounds' official blog).
So removing the bus stops costs you 2 1/2 minutes of walking (150 seconds). And gains you 20 seconds per stop removed that you pass. Therefore you need to pass 8 removed stops to break even. Which seems like quite a commute to me.
I agree that low-stopping services are a good idea. Particularly in the suburbs. Use the high-stopping services to get people to the low-stopping services - and let them change buses for free/cheap. But I think that you still need regular stops, particularly if you are dealing with elderly people. And that in the middle of cities it's totally worth having a lot of stops, so that people can easily find one.
