Parallel : omission of the overlapping part?

Can I omit overlapping parts in parallel structure?

1. Salting has been uses to season as well as (to) preserve food

2. I can go there not only by bus but also (by) train

3. I can go there by bus as well as (by) train

Thanks

How about this?

1. Salting has been uses[b] (to) season [/b]as well as to preserve food

2. I can go there not only (by) bus but also by train

3. I can go there (by) bus [b]as well as [/b]by train
