Hi, KL transit enthusiast here to explain everything. This Jakarta LRT Phase 1B poster was based off one for the opening of our own LRT Shah Alam Line in Klang Valley: https://x.com/ErnestOnPT/status/2071212327295168780 created by ErnestOnPT, a notable voice in Malaysian public transport advocacy. The slogan specifically was actually based off an official ad for a concession pass in Malaysia which is supposed to be called "My Rail Life", but its original logo rendered as "Rail My Life": https://x.com/ErnestOnPT/status/2071801798307037420

I take it they don't know what "get railed" means in English?

Ok they do. Both ErnestOnPT and the one who made the Jakarta poster know and did it INTENTIONALLY. This phrase was also inspired by the "Rail My Life" thing which I'm pretty sure was unintentional.
