Beloved friends of Spanishdict......
The lady on the intercom on el metro here in Chile says, " Say niece eee eye, cierra las puestas!" just before the doors close. I understand the second half but not the first. Any ideas?
thank you smart people.

Sounds like "se inicia ... something goes here like maybe departure and "cierra las puertas" doesn't sound right because it is a command. The announcement is probably a statement advising people on the tram that the doors are being closed. - margaretcorwin, May 28, 2011

cierra las puertas...
but the first part, no idea, I can't read your description, sorry.

Why don't you ask one of the locals who can hear the actual recording?

Maybe:
Se iniciáis
Just based on your exact phonetic description, 2nd person plural familiar seems close.
