on the whole way home中的on可省略吗

They got into their cab, and not one word did they say the whole way home.

请教老师，上句应该on the whole way home吗？on可省略？

这个短语中的介词on在口语或非正式语体中常省略，the whole way home等于all the way home。请看COCA例句：

I just sobbed the whole way home.

My daughter and I cried the whole way home.

Starr holds my hand the whole way home.

The interphone was silent the whole way home.

The girl cried and moaned and sniffled the whole way home.

I tried talking to him, but he slept the whole way home in the car.
