The No. 7 train may be down for Long Island City residents this Sunday but it will have no effect on subway prices rising that very same day.

MTA fares are scheduled to rise this Sunday, March 22, after being approved in January.

Single subway rides will be increasing to $2.75—from $2.50—the MTA said, while monthly passes will be raised to $116.50—from $112.

Weekly passes will be $31.

Meanwhile, this weekend there will be no service between Times Square and Hunters Point Avenue.

Additionally, Flushing bound service will skip 33rd, 40th, 46th, 52nd and 69th Streets.
