Morphology
The meaning 'the amount of time spent traveling' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'travel' (journeying) with 'time' (duration); it follows a simple noun + noun pattern indicating the duration associated with travel. This construction is cross-linguistically common (e.g., Spanish 'tiempo de viaje', French 'temps de voyage'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Travel time gives a simple picture: a clock ticking while you move along a road or train, with time showing the hours and travel showing the journey. So, it means the amount of time or 'how long' a trip takes.
