Not a hit piece at all - just a reset of the unrealistic claims by Uber. The author actually drives for Uber in NYC. When per hour calculations are done, it is typically from when the driver is notified to pick up a fare to when he drops them off.

That could be a huge difference. This article does read a bit like a hit piece, imo.
