Bus 5CorPrivate transfer to Malmö?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Bus 5C reaches Kongens Nytorv and Nørreport on the metro, København H on the train — the ends of Strøget; the Private transfer to Malmö does not. This goes to Malmö, not Copenhagen: the driver takes you to any address there.

The Private transfer to Malmö is quicker: 35 min against 38 min. The Bus 5C varies between 35 and 38 minutes.

Bus 5C: Runs all night. Private transfer to Malmö: Runs all night.

Where each one leaves you

5C · Movia, on a DOT ticketBus 5C

From: The 5C stop "Københavns Lufthavn" on Ellehammersvej, the road in front of the terminals
To: Hovedbanegården (Tivoli) in 35 minutes and Rådhuspladsen in 38, down Amagerbrogade and over Langebro
Luggage: An articulated city bus; standing room and no racks.
Runs: All night
Journey: 35–38 min

Three times the metro's journey for the same price. It earns its place for the night and for addresses along Amagerbrogade, Sundbyvester Plads and Amagerbro.

DOT's night table: "Sundbyvester Plads – Lufthavnen: Hver time alle ugens dage" — the airport leg is hourly all night, every night. The half-hourly night frequency applies only to the inner section.

Journey time is Rejseplanen's for a mid-morning run; DOT publishes frequency but not duration, and Movia does not publish one either.
