Bryn Mawr (better known as 71st and Jeffery) is a station on the Hyde Park/South Chicago branch of the Metra Electric Line. It is located at 71st Street and Jeffery Boulevard, which is 9.66 miles (15.55 km) away from the northern terminus at Randolph Street Station.[3] In Metra's fare-based system, Bryn Mawr Station is in zone 2. As of 2018, Bryn Mawr is the 201st busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 73 weekday boardings.[2] The station is named for the former name of the neighborhood at the time the line was built, when it was part of Hyde Park Township.[4]
