How much is the fine for driving in the bus lane?

I live in California and they just installed a bus lane on a pretty busy road. It’s been kind of annoying because it’s one less lane for traffic to use, so it seems to defeat the purpose. What’s the fine for driving in the bus lane?

I know bus lanes can seem silly, considering they do limit the number of available lanes. But the point isn’t to inconvenience car drivers—it’s to help make public transit more accessible, efficient, and safe so that more people use it.
