I've talked before about standing at a train station and thinking about all the places you can go with one, two, etc connections...
If, at your station, the pertinent question is "how many times does a train come here in a day?" then it's in the rural category.

If, at your station, the pertinent question is "how many times does a train come here in an HOUR?" then it's in the urban category.

Needless to say, a "rural" station might be in a fairly urbanized setting, and vice-versa. But putting that aside...
-
12 trains per day is busy for a rural station--waiting time is likely an hour. 12 per hour is busy for an urban one--wait time 5 minutes.
-
3 trains per day is very quiet even for a rural station. 3 per hour (20 minute waits) is very quiet by urban standards.
-
Rural: - trains are rare - likely unattended - tranquil place - innocuous design - if there are shops, they're prob busier than the station
-
Urban: - trains constant - supervised; ticket barriers - busy place - central, eye-catching design - shops cater to station's business
