'Fahrtkosten' is a compound word made up of 'Fahrt' (trip/journey) and 'Kosten' (costs). The 's' in the middle is a linking sound that connects the two parts. So the meaning is literally 'costs for a trip'.

The travel costs for the train have risen in recent years.
The word 'Fahrtkosten' (travel costs) is used almost exclusively in the plural, since it usually refers to the total costs of several trips or of a round trip.
Bitte reichen Sie die Belege für Ihre Fahrtkosten ein.
Please submit the receipts for your travel costs.
Common verbs in connection with Fahrtkosten are 'erstatten' (to reimburse), 'übernehmen' (to cover), and '(von der Steuer) absetzen' (to deduct from taxes).

Many employees can deduct their travel costs from their taxes.
travel expenses
Reisekosten include all the costs of a trip, such as transportation, accommodation, and meals. Fahrtkosten are only the part caused by the means of transportation used. Reisekosten is therefore appropriate for the total amount, while Fahrtkosten refers to transportation costs alone.
Die Firma erstattet ihr nur die Fahrtkosten für den Zug.
The company reimburses her only the train fare.
Die Firma erstattet ihr die Reisekosten einschließlich Hotel und Verpflegung.
The company reimburses her travel expenses, including the hotel and meals.
