Ola drivers, particularly, faced the heat as users complained of their rude and callous behaviour.

But purely going by reactions on the Indian web, this could be because Uber drivers are better-trained and don't need as much handholding as their Ola counterparts do.
That should explain the lower number of calls customers make to the company and vice versa.
