I drive (on/along) this route every day.

The Merriam-Webster Learner's Dictionary shows these examples for "drive":

I drive on/along this route every day.
I drive this route every day.

I'm more familiar with the former with "on/along".
And I wonder how commonly used the latter is.

But it's not as commonly used as the former, is it?
Also, what's the difference between the two?
For example, one is more informal than the other, etc.

But it's not as commonly used as the former, is it? I don't think I hear 'on this route'.
Also, what's the difference between the two? No real difference, in formality or otherwise.
I often hear a verb other than 'drive', eg use, this route, travel this route.
