Sweden is not a cheap country for transport. The buses are clearly priced; taxis are not regulated at all, so the price depends on which company you pick. Here is the honest breakdown.
Price comparison by option

Prices by destination
There is no published taxi fare for any of these runs — Swedish taxi pricing is deregulated, so the figure comes from whichever company you get into. Only the transfer column is a price fixed in advance.

| Central Station | Company-set — read the sticker | Fixed, quoted at booking | Fixed, quoted at booking |
| Haga / Linneplatsen | Company-set — read the sticker | Fixed, quoted at booking | Fixed, quoted at booking |

Hidden costs — few, but taxi pricing is the catch
There are no tolls between Landvetter and Gothenburg. Tipping is not expected (though rounding up is appreciated). Credit cards are accepted everywhere.
The one thing to watch is the taxi fare itself. Sweden does not regulate taxi prices — every company sets its own. The safeguard is the jämförpris (comparison price): the fare for a standard 10 km, 15-minute trip, displayed in black on yellow both outside and inside the car, for every time of day and day of the week. If a company’s jämförpris exceeds SEK 700 it must give you a binding price quote before the trip starts. Established companies like Taxi Göteborg display it clearly; the ones to be wary of are the ones hoping you will not look.
Is the Flygbussarna worth it?
Yes. Booked online it is a small fraction of the cost of a taxi for essentially the same journey time. The buses are modern, comfortable, and run frequently. The only reason to choose something else is if you need door-to-door service, have heavy luggage, or are traveling with young children.
Best strategy for a group
For three or four travelers, a taxi or transfer starts to make economic sense. A transfer at SEK 700 split four ways is SEK 175 (EUR 16) per person — not far off the bus fare, with the convenience of direct hotel delivery.
