Transparent Underground

Here’s a really neat commercial that I guess is about enticing more folks to use the Metro in Madrid more often. If I could stare up into the World above me like this I would certainly love to use it. I also am curious on what was being said in Spanish at the end.

PS: It’s great to be back from a little hiatus *cough*moving*cough* into my new apartment. ;)

Update – Thank you to everyone who jumped in and helped out with the translation!

    Is it bad that my first thought was "Cool! now I can see up womens skirts!"?

    Haha my first thought was also 'oh I would never be able to wear a skirt again!'

    At the end it says (sorry for the bad translation): Every time there's more people that see in Madrid (or that come to Madrid? I can't tell). A city without limits for moving yourself. That's why we will never stop improving Madrid's metro. To grow, to go further away every day. Because you deserve one of the best metros in the world. Madrid's metro: good.

    A couple minor corrections to Jessa's translation:

    Every time there’s more people that see in Madrid a city without limits for moving yourself. That's why in Madrid’s Metro we will never stop to improve, to grow, to go further away every day. Because you deserve one of the best metros in the world. Madrid’s Metro: Fly.

    Madrid´s subways, Fly was the subway´s slogan in 11M, so the joke was done.

    Each day more and more people see in Madrid a limitless city to move around. That's why in Metro de Madrid we'll never stop improving, growing, going further everyday. Because you deserve one of the world's best subways.

    Metro de Madrid. Fly.

    It is bad, but everybody was thinking the same thing, so you're not alone.

    MY first thought was that the Madrid taxpayers are really getting hosed by whatever government department had the budget to produce this ad.
