| Could someone post the train schedule and also any official remarks regarding reliability? What is the average delay, per day/week/month over tlme?
Also, is there the same for the bus?
Perhaps the bus might actually be a better option? And, it might be cheaper?

Be careful what you ask for. Laws are complex beasts with inevitable subtleties and potential loopholes. Some would exploit those loopholes to achieve what was not the original intent of the law yet not be in violation of it.
As a Wikipedia article points out, "intentionally following the letter of the law but not the spirit may be accomplished through exploiting technicalities, loopholes, and ambiguous language."
Massachusetts seems to be trying to acknowledge this by giving some detail as to the law's 'spirit':
In a letter, Secretary of the Executive Office of Housing and Economic
Development (EOHED) Mike Kennealy and Undersecretary Jennifer Maddox
wrote, “This law is not a housing production mandate. It is all about
setting the table for more transit-oriented housing in the years and
decades ahead — which is not just good housing policy, but good climate
and transportation policy, too.”
"Spirit of the law" is too vague a term, and could open the door to push a specific agenda. Seems like even the State agency keeps changing what the "spirit of the law" is, since the transit area requirement was reduced down from 100% to 20%.
As an example, as recently as September 30th, the HCAWG considered that building housing by the Hanscom bus stop would comply with the "spirit of the legislation".
