Check the front of the bus: "Reykjavík-BSÍ" goes through, "Fjörður" stops in Hafnarfjörður. Only 06:27, 07:54, 14:54, 15:54 and 16:54 go through, and only on weekdays.
At the weekend no bus 55 reaches Reykjavík. Take one to Fjörður and change to city bus 1 — ISK 2,490 on two tickets, 84 minutes.
The stop is on the departures side of the terminal, not outside arrivals, and the bus cannot be booked: turn up and pay the driver.
ISK 1,599 less than the Flybus for 27 minutes more, but five buses a day against a coach for every flight; nothing runs after 22:54 or before 06:27.

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.
