Indian riding company OLA Consumer said on Friday that it did not set fares based on the user’s phone model the day after global rival Uber denied allegations about the price of differential Android and Apple phones.
Ola and Uber received a notice from the Indian government consumer agency directed by Consumer Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi on Thursday after media reports and complained that Apple users were on the same car compared to phones running on Android operating systems. High sued.
“We have a homogeneous pricing structure for all customers and we do not perform the same ride based on the operating system of the user’s phone,” an OLA consumer spokesperson said.
“We have clarified this today with the Central Consumer Protection Agency (CCPA) and we will work with them to clear any misunderstandings in this regard.”
Apple and Google have not responded to Reuters’ request for comment.
