I don't think this is illegal.

It's essentially bidding on a lump sum contract based on 2000 hrs of work required and using contractors that can accomplish the work in 1800hrs.
A couple things. Uber posts what percentage of the fare they keep as a commission, so if they are lying to the driver about what they are charging the passenger, then they are taking money out of the drivers' pocket that their own claimed policy says they are due.

On the passenger side, I would suggest this trick is theft by deception.
