Any good anagrams for AITS?

National Ticketing Solution (NTS) is a public transport payment system in development for New Zealand. It is contracted to American company Cubic. It is expected to start roll out in the Canterbury region in 2024 and available nationwide by 2026. It was previously known by various names such as Project NEXT, the National Ticketing Programme (NTP), the Auckland Integrated Ticketing Scheme (AITS) and Auckland Integrated Fares System (AIFS) prior to that. The aim is to achieve a nationally consistent payment system, with a choice of payment by cash, phone, credit card, debit card, or a transit card valid for the whole country. Whilst work at a national level has been undertaken since 2009, work is still ongoing. As of 2022, there are four public transport cards in use in New Zealand which are not interoperable: AT HOP card in Auckland, Snapper card in Wellington, Bee Card used in nine smaller regional councils, and Metrocard in Christchurch.
