中文的语法 ”平时十分拥挤的汽车，今天人倒不多。“ I think "倒" here acts as a verb, but I noticed that right after this word comes an adjective "不多"。I wonder it is possible...as far as I know, if we wanna add an adjective after a verb for describing the extent, we‘ve got to add "得" like “倒得不多”。I hope somebody could explain it to me. Thank you.

Here, 倒 means 反而 or 反倒. 反而 and 反倒 are used to show that this situation is different to expected.

”平时十分拥挤的汽车，今天人倒不多。“

I think "倒" here acts as a verb, but I noticed that right after this word comes an adjective "不多"。I wonder it is possible...as far as I know, if we wanna add an adjective after a verb for describing the extent, we‘ve got to add "得" like “倒得不多”。I hope somebody could explain it to me. Thank you.

It depends on the different meaning of sentences,  The "倒" has lots of meanings, but you should used it work with different phrases.

In this sentence: "倒" needs to corporate with "不多". This phrase means "not too much" or "not too many". and I think, “倒” probably is a adjective in this sentence, cause it probably describes "不多".'不多‘ I think there is like a noun not adjective.' cause "倒不多"- this phrase describes the ‘人’, and you cannot use '倒得‘ to describe '人’.

here 得 is like a conjunction meaning “but”,showing that the fact (人不多）is out of expectation

And here 得 can be replaced by 却

這裡的"倒"不多，應該是"反而"的意思，如果是指會議或活動參與的人"到"得不多，才會加"得"。
