A conserving relaxation time approximation is presented resulting into a Mermin-type of polarisation functions. The transport properties are calculated for the relaxation time approximation and an arbitrary band structure. The results for metals and gases are discussed and the shortcoming of relaxation time approximation to describe experimental values is outlined. As improvement, the exact solution of the linearised quantum Boltzmann equation is presented leading to momentum-depended relaxation times specific for each observable. Explicit expressions are given for the electric and thermal conductivity as well as the shear viscosity.
