Travel time variability (TTV) plays a significant role in analysing the reliability of public transit system. The research works carried out on travel time variability under Indian traffic conditions are very few and these studies did not analyse the performance of travel time distribution in detail, considering different temporal and spatial aggregations. In this study, travel time variability is analysed using travel time distributions considering different temporal and spatial aggregations. The Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) data of four transit routes of Mysore City, Karnataka, India are used to evaluate travel time distributions with respect to temporal aggregations (peak period, off-peak period, 60 minutes, 30 minutes and 15 minutes) and spatial aggregations (route level and segment level). The performance of travel time distributions is analysed using the Anderson-Darling (AD) test. The segments with signalised intersections and different land-use types are analysed to evaluate the distribution fit for various conditions. The results of both route and segment level analysis report highest accuracy and robustness values for Generalised Extreme Value (GEV) distribution. The distribution is proved to be superior in describing travel time variability of public transit.
