I just happen to have a document open which defines this.
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ics/icsbgp4.htm
Look at figure 12-1. From later in the text: AS 200 is a transit AS for AS
100 and AS 300---that is, AS 200 is used to transfer packets between AS 100
and AS 300.
Transit traffic is that which travels from one AS to another by way of an
intermediary AS. The intermedialry AS is the transit AS because it is used
to essentially move the traffic between As's.
