FOR those who have done the "walk of shame" this idea is genius. A uni student has started a business offering people a post-hook-up ride home.
Kellyann Wargo, 23, started a "Walk of Shame Shuttle" in her final year at the University of Michigan after realising as an early riser she was constantly getting calls from friends to come pick them up from different locations.

She would take them out for breakfast, which her friends would pay for, discuss the activities from the night before and then get them home safely.
She became so busy that she realised she could actually start offering the service to strangers.
"My roommates helped me come up with the name, I made a poster, it went viral ... and then I had to follow the law and get a chauffeur license," she told HerCampus.com .

Wargo's idea struck such a chord that executives at VH1 offered her a reality series based on the premise.
She says she now charges $5 for "a ride home, a bottle of water and a high five." She even offers those who need it coupons for the morning after pill.

If you think that taxi drivers hear some interesting stories, Wargo says she can beat them all.
"There are crazy going out stories, crazy I don't know where I woke up stories, I just broke up with my boyfriend stories, and everything in between," she said.
VH1 senior vice president Jill Holmes said Wargo's personality was a big part of their decision to commission the reality show.
"She has such a fresh take on things and has such a positive kind of comedic style ... She could take any situation and turn it into a positive. We thought, "We have to meet her and do a show about this,"' she said.

The original YouTube clip has had more than 300,000 views. It shows Wargo taking different girls home, rubbing their backs as they vomit out of the car and speaking softly to some particularly hung-over passengers.
She says her favourite time of year is the post-Halloween walk of shame.
"Feels like I'm at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade," she said.
The reality show will feature Wargo taking her Walk of Shame Shuttle to other university cities in the US and franchising the idea.
