Personally, I agree with this. Never had a good experience with Ola (tried few times). Been riding with Uber since its introduction in India, starting with the very limited/costly option and now the most optimal "Premier". Never used sharing, so no experience with that.

I usually talk to the drivers; they tend to drive for both Ola and Uber. Most of them seem to have a better earning with Uber.

One of the key thing limiting me even trying Ola is that they have their own in-house Payment/Wallet system and no integration with a more common one such as PayTM. With Uber, I can PayTM as my default and do not worry about Credit Card PIN -- just ride, thank the driver and walk out.

Nonetheless, I would still wish Ola the very best. We need more competition and even better services from all providers.
