I know I can say

The streetlights come on automatically at dusk.

Now suppose that you and your friend have been waiting for a bus for a while.

And you turn and say

The bus should come on at any minute.

Is that a proper usage for the phrasal verb "come on"?

My intention behind using "come on" instead of simple come is that I think using "come one" implies there is kind of schedule for the buss departure. I am not sure though.

    on refers there to the active state. There is no implication of anything to do with time or schedules. The lights come on when you clap your hands.

Your first example refers to the following usage:

come on:

to begin to operate:

  • Set the oven to come on at six.
  • When does the heating come on?

(OLD)

As for the bus I think you should use arrive or come:

The bus should arrive/come/be here any minute.
