This is the public-transport answer on any weekend and on most weekday buses: the 55 ends at Fjörður bus station and bus 1 continues from the same station to the centre in about 27 minutes.

The connection is timed — eight to eleven minutes at Fjörður on every trip — so the 84 minutes hold; the last 55 of the day (22:54) meets the 23:51 bus 1.

Two fares, not one: the ISK 1,800 provincial ticket does not cover the city bus. Tap a contactless card on bus 1 for the ISK 690 single, or use the Klapp app.

On a weekday at 06:27, 07:54, 14:54, 15:54 or 16:54 stay on the bus instead: it goes through to BSÍ for ISK 2,400 in 72 minutes.
