I have noticed while cycling around that something was missing, bus shelters have disappeared.

The bus stop is still there, noticeably the one outside Tesco at Thornton Heath, which is a very popular route 

These bus shelters are important, to provide shelter from the elements, safety and for sitting for people who might be disabled or unable to stand for long periods.

How can we encourage use of public transport, when this is happening?

There are already too many cars on the roads.
