the person is decreasing resultant velocity
There are many things that could possibly be true of a person walking up the steps of a downward-moving escalator at a constant speed. This person could potentially stay in exactly the same place.
Here are some things that are true:* The combined speed is also constant * To get the combined speed, you need to subtract one speed from the other (the speed of the escalator, and the speed of the person relative to the escalator) * Acceleration is zero
None of the items on that list is false. In fact, none is true either, since no list at all accompanies the question.
a lift goes vertical. an escalator is moving stairs.

An escalator.
an escalator
Another word for a moving staircase is 'escalator'?

Nope, can't agree with that. "Constant motion" means constant speed in a straight line. A projectile keeps moving faster vertically downward, and its path curves downward no matter what direction you launch it. So it fails both tests for constant motion: Its speed and direction both change.
