Possible to make "controller-less" urls with ASP.NET MVC?

Question

I'm using ASP.NET MVC 4, .NET 4.5. Any way, besides creating individual controllers for each "action", to have "controller-less" urls?

What I mean is, have a Home controller filled with actions. Urls such as:

site.com/Home/About
site.com/Home/Contact

to become

site.com/About
site.com/Contact

but still use the Home controller.

You can define routes that don't contain the controller name like this:

routes.MapRoute(
    "About",                                       // Route name
    "About/",                                      // URL with parameters
    new { controller = "Home", action = "About" }  // Parameter defaults
);

routes.MapRoute(
    "Contact",                                       // Route name
    "Contact/",                                      // URL with parameters
    new { controller = "Home", action = "Contact" }  // Parameter defaults
);

Thanks, this worked perfectly: routes.MapRoute( name: "NoController", url: "{action}/{id}", defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } );
