You would definitely notice it if you have light-enough colored sheets. Fecals spots are one of the telltale signs of an infestation.

Honestly, while you can get bed bugs from anywhere, the chances of bringing them home are still not high if you aren't in a place you know to be infested. I'd just be careful about keeping your bag on your person on the train/bus (like on your lap or holding it) and maybe (? I don't know much about transit infestations) avoid sitting down unless you have to or have a very long ride.

Where do you work? While they can infest any place, they're much more likely to be in certain settings than others. I think I may have gotten them from work but I work in a hospital and there was a report of an infestation in a unit that sometimes delivers specimens to my unit a few months ago (presumably it's been cleared now). Might have also gotten them from a neighbor. They're attracted to the carbon dioxide you exhale so it's completely feasible that if a neighbor had a gravid female hitchhike home from a hotel or something and put their bag down by the outlet on the other side of the wall from my bed that the bug would have crawled through the wall to me rather than infest the neighbor.

I'd say honestly the best thing you can do is just make sure you know what the signs of infestation are (fecal spots, bites, and what the bugs themselves look like) and if you ever suspect you are infested get inspected and treated IMMEDIATELY by a reputable exterminator. If you haven't seen bugs in the places you frequent, try not to waste energy on worrying about them. Just don't put your luggage on the floor when you travel/inspect hotel rooms before you sleep, and if you ever do stay in a place that's infested* (like Bigpaw did) that's when you need to start sanitizing stuff. I only suggested all that to her because she knows she was exposed to them.

*and if you're in a hotel and you realize your room is infested ask to change rooms, you don't need to sleep with them
