Taxis or Uber between ARN and Stockholm center run about 520 SEK.

Retiree and Senior citizens discounts? Not too sure about those but Sweden has a lot of that going on for using public transit.
Sometimes there have also been summer/holiday period discounting where two people on the same ticket substantially lowers the cost per person. Cheap enough to want to find someone with cash to split the cost, as it brought down the price to be less than double the Flygbussen ticket price.
And when I've just missed the Arlanda Express by a minute or two, I'll sometimes rush to grab the next Flygbussen since the Flybussen tend to run more frequently and the travel time is sometimes around 20-30 minutes longer (in terms of getting me to the check-in counters or security) than the Arlanda Expeess. Waiting more than 15 minutes for the next Arlanda Express isn't always worth it to me.
