Ola, Uber deny differential pricing

Ride-hailing firm Ola on Friday clarified that it follows a “homogenous pricing structure” and does not differentiate pricing based on users’ mobile operating systems for identical rides.

In a statement, an Ola consumer spokesperson said the company has communicated this to the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA), which had earlier issued a notice to the company.

“We have a homogenous pricing structure for all our customers and we do not differentiate based on the operating system of the user’s cellphone for identical rides,” the spokesperson said.
