This is the whole point of the page: SEK 43 against SEK 200 for the same journey with the same operator, because it starts at a bus stop rather than a ticket gate.

It takes 61 minutes against the direct train's 38, and it needs one change at Marsta. That is what the 157 kronor buys.

Bus 583 runs from Terminals 2 and 3 as well as Sky City, roughly every 15 minutes.

From three travelers it is cheaper than the ordinary commuter train — SEK 580 against SEK 600 — which is the reverse of what an express is meant to do, and it happens because the passage fee is charged per head with no group rate.

It still loses to the bus at every party size, by a wide margin.

The operator is A-Train, the same company that owns the station and levies the passage fee the commuter train has to pay.

It does not run at night.
