--The bus has come.

The water has come.(Although grammatically correct, this is not clear: Maybe you mean "The rain has come.")

He has been sitting there for a long time.

I am to go to London tomorrow.(in American English you would be more likely to see "I am supposed/planning to go to London tomorrow.")
